Singh has been repeatedly arrested in various cases across Assam. “Over the past few days, Congress spokesperson @SinghReetam has been relentlessly targeted and implicated in one case after another,” Gogoi stated on X (formerly Twitter).
During his visit, coinciding with the Assamese New Year, Bohag, Gogoi presented Singh with traditional sweets, ‘pitha,’ as a gesture of solidarity.

“Assam is witnessing a disturbing collapse of law and order — a police state where intimidation and miscarriage of justice have become the norm. Ordinary people are speaking up. I stand with the people of Assam,” Gogoi asserted.
Singh’s most recent re-arrest occurred on April 12 by Morigaon district police, immediately following his release on bail from a previous case.
He was initially arrested on March 15 by Lakhimpur district police for a social media post questioning the status of cases against three senior BJP leaders, including two sitting MLAs and a former state party president.
