He has been barred from meeting the public
and Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi was on June 25 allowed to go home after almost 550 days in captivity, but for two days. A special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) granted him 48-hour parole after he wished to visit his wife and teenaged son in Guwahati and mother in Jorhat, about 310 km east. The court, however, turned down his request to meet the constituents who elected him and barred him from meeting the public during his parole.More Related News
