Assam Congress spokesperson Reetam Singh was arrested for a social media post targeting BJP leaders. He was sent to judicial custody by a Lakhimpur court. Singh will appear in district court on Monday. Opposition parties criticized the BJP government for allegedly misusing the Assam police for political purposes. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi stated that the police should serve the Constitution, not the BJP. Akhil Gogoi, leader of Raijor Dal, condemned Singh's detention, calling it an example of the police's servitude. He emphasized that the police's role is to maintain law and order, not serve political interests.
