Assault Took Place During Student Protest
The controversy stems from an incident on June 15 when Dipke was allegedly attacked while attending a demonstration at Jaipur’s Shaheed Smarak. The protest had been organised to demand accountability over the NEET paper leak controversy, reforms in the education sector and measures to address unemployment among young people.
According to eyewitnesses, Dipke was being carried toward the protest venue by supporters when two men allegedly rushed toward him, grabbed his scarf and slapped him multiple times.
The sudden assault led to a scuffle between the accused and CJP supporters. The attackers were reportedly overpowered by members of the crowd before being handed over to police.
