Independent Assam MLA Akhil Gogoi was released after special NIA court cleared him of all charges under UAPA for his alleged role in the violent anti-CAA stir in December 2019.

Gogoi, an MLA and president of the Raijor Dal, was earlier granted bail in the original case filed at a police station in upper Assam, which was later transferred to the NIA.
