Gauhati High Court Quashes NSA Detention of Assam Activist Pranab Doley After 117 Days in Custody. Pranab Doley (40), an indigenous rights activist from Assam’s Mising (Mishing) community, has been released after the Gauhati High Court quashed his detention under the National Security Act (NSA) on November 6, 2026. Doley was arrested in July in connection with protests against a proposed luxury hotel project near Kaziranga National Park. His detention was subsequently challenged in court, which ruled it illegal due to procedural and legal lapses. He had spent approximately 117–118 days in custody. The case has brought renewed attention to indigenous land rights, environmental protection and the ongoing debate over development projects around Kaziranga.
