The National Investigation Agency on Tuesday filed an additional charge sheet against jailed Sibsagar MLA Akhil Gogoi while also bringing in a new “protected” witness in the second and last case in connection with the 2019 anti-CAA protests.
The original charge sheet in the Chandmari police station case in Guwahati was filed over a year ago, on바카라 웹사이트May 29, 2020, under the UA(P) Act and also for sedition besides other sections of the IPC.
Gogoi was acquitted in the Chabua case on바카라 웹사이트June 22.
“The NIA has filed an additional charge sheet in the Chandmari police station case바카라 웹사이트today바카라 웹사이트(Tuesday) based on a new protected witness,” Gogoi라이브 바카라 lawyer Krishna Gogoi said. “The charges and sections remain the same,” he said.

The development comes a day before the NIA is slated to present its final arguments in the hearing on framing of charges in the case.
The Raijor Dal, which Gogoi heads, termed the NIA라이브 바카라 move as a conspiracy at a time when hearing on the framing of charges in the Chandmari case was about to conclude.
In a statement, the party said that the BJP-led government was afraid of Gogoi라이브 바카라 popularity and was using the NIA in a conspiracy to try and ensure that he is not out of jail till the by-elections to the state assembly are over.
It said that Gogoi라이브 바카라 popularity was giving nightmares to chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Three by-elections have to be held following the demise of two MLAs and resignation of another, but the schedule is yet to be announced. Gogoi contested the last elections from behind bars, the first ever candidate in Assam to do so.
“The opposition parties appear to have surrendered, but the government knows Akhil Gogoi will never compromise or surrender and, therefore, doesn’t want him to be free,” the statement said.
Gogoi was arrested on바카라 웹사이트December 12, 2019 for his alleged role in the anti-CAA protests and the cases were handed over the NIA for investigation after the Union Home Ministry issued an order on바카라 웹사이트December 14.
The court granted him a two-day parole last week to visit his son and mother. He has been undergoing treatment at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital.
