Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Monday extended his support to Jharkhand student leader Devendra Nath Mahto, who was hospitalised after his health deteriorated during a hunger strike over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations.
Dipke said he spoke to Mahto before the latter was taken to hospital and claimed that the student leader had suffered injuries in an alleged police lathicharge during Monday's protest march. He also said Mahto was experiencing chest pain.
