Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), has reportedly made a jocular remark, "Tera bhi number aayega" (Your turn will also come), suggesting that Saurav Das could potentially be the next individual to face an alleged assault. This comment has emerged in the context of recent reported attacks on other members of the organisation, including Dipke himself and CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, in separate incidents over recent months.

The alleged attack on Mr. Dipke occurred in Jaipur in June of this year. Reports indicate that the incident took place shortly before he was due to address a group of protesters in the city. While specific details regarding the nature of the assault or the identities of the perpetrators were not immediately available in public reports, the timing of the alleged incident raised questions given his scheduled public engagement. The alleged assault on a founder of a civil society organisation before a public address underscores potential challenges faced by such groups.

More recently, CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka was also reportedly assaulted. This alleged incident occurred last week, according to news sources. The details surrounding Mr. Ranka's alleged assault have not been extensively publicised, but it marks another reported instance of physical altercation involving a prominent member of the Citizens for Justice and Peace. The recurrence of such incidents against the organisation's leadership has drawn attention.

Mr. Dipke's comment, while reportedly delivered in a light-hearted manner, carries a significant undertone given the circumstances. The Hindi phrase "Tera bhi number aayega" is a common colloquialism, often used playfully to suggest that someone's turn for an experience or event will eventually arrive. However, in this specific context, following alleged physical attacks on CJP members, the remark appears to function as a dark jest, highlighting a perceived vulnerability and an underlying concern for the safety of those associated with the organisation. It implicitly acknowledges a pattern of alleged harassment or violence.

The reported incidents and Mr. Dipke's subsequent public comment collectively underscore an environment where members of the Citizens for Justice and Peace have allegedly faced physical altercations while engaged in their activities. These events, occurring in different locations and at different times, suggest a broader issue concerning the security of individuals working within civil society. While the CJP has not yet released a formal statement specifically addressing the alleged attacks or Mr. Dipke's remark, the incidents have been widely reported in various media outlets, bringing them into public discourse. The series of alleged assaults raises questions about the challenges faced by activists and members of social organisations in India.
