A team of Tripura police on Friday arrested journalist Saikat Talapatra from West Bengal's Sodepur in North 24 Paragana district on charges of maligning Tripura chief minister Manik Saha and many other politicians through his online channels.
Following the announcement of the Tripura by-election results, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha characterized the by-election as a significant contest and victory of democracy as he viewed that the opposition CPI-M’s allegations were baseless.
According to reports, the incident was reported after iron trust of the Rath touched a high tension wire near the Kumarghat Circle office and erupted into fire.
Tripura chief minister Manik Saha has written a letter to the Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan requesting him to increase the number of centres for Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in the state.
