The Assam Jatiya Parishad’s youth wing Jatiya Yuva Shakti (JYS) on Tuesday staged a dharna in front of the Assam Cooperative Apex Bank Ltd to protest against alleged financial irregularities, following which a journalist of a digital news portal was detained by police.
The protesters, who had gathered in front of the bank’s headquarters at Panbazar, were demanding a high-level inquiry and strict action against those responsible for the alleged financial mismanagement in the bank, JYS general secretary Chandrapal Baruah said.
Senior journalist of ‘The Cross Current’, Dilwar Hussain Mozumdar who had gone to cover the protest, was summoned to the Panbazar police station and subsequently detained, though no reason has been cited for his detention thus far.
