Agartala, July 20: The Opposition parties in Tripura on Wednesday have demanded re-investigation of murder of Tripura police officer Durga Kumar Hrangkhwal and severe punishment for the assailants.

Main opposition Tipra Motha Party (TMP), Congress, Trinamool Congress demanded the BJP government to arrange re-investigation of murder of the Tripura police officer and arrange exemplary punishment to the drug peddlers who killed Hrangkhwal.

Opposition leader and senior TMP legislator Animesh Debbarma demanded a judicial probe of the killing and asked that if the police officer on duty was killed by the drug mafia how the state government would achieve its mission to make Tripura a drug free state.

Hrangkhwal was killed in a run over incident in November 2019 while he along with other policemen was patrolling on a road along Bangladesh border against drugs smuggling.
After a long trial, the Sepahijala District Judge last week acquitted all the seven accused due to lack of evidence and other proof.

The CPI-M leader demanded to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a Superintendent of Police rank officer to re-investigate the murder of the honest police officer on duty.
