Guwahati: A special NIA court on Friday again remanded Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) chief Akhil Gogoi, who has been arrested and booked under stringent UAPA for his alleged role in anti-CAA protests in Assam, to 14-day judicial custody, his lawyer said.
Gogoi was produced before the court amid tight security at the end of his previous 14-day judicial custody on Friday.
The court has again remanded Gogoi to judicial custody and directed that he be produced on February 10, his advocate Santanu Borthakur told PTI.
Gogoi was last produced before the court on January 10 after being sent to judicial custody for 14 days on December 26.
The peasant leader, before being produced in the court on Friday, shouted ‘Jai Aai Asom’ (Hail Mother Assam) and urged people to intensify the agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
“The time for symbolic protests is over. The agitation should be intensified. People should fight a united battle against the CAA or else there are possibilities of betrayal by people with vested interests,” he told waiting journalists. (PTI)
