Agartala, Oct 20: The Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) has asked the Director General of Police (DGP) Amitabh Ranjan to submit an interim report within 15 days on death of a 34-year-old man.

The 34-year-old man died at his residence on October 17 allegedly due to injuries sustained from the “torture in police custody”.

The 3-member THRC headed by former Tripura High Court Judge Swapan Chandra Das in its order said that the allegations as appeared in the media attract the violation of human rights, prima facie, and, therefore, provisional cognizance has been taken in the matter and the Commission is satisfied to direct the DGP to inquire into the matter immediately and to submit an interim report within 15 days.

A Police officer had said that on charges of theft, the two tribal youths — Badal Tripura (34) and Chiranjit Tripura (35) — were arrested on October 13. Both were released the next day on bail.

The Chief Minister said in a post on his X handle: “Saddened by the death of Badal Tripura from Kaladepa under Manubazar PS. Following a complaint of wrongdoing by certain officials, the concerned Sub-Inspector and the Constable of Manubazar PS have been suspended.”

“Further, instructions have been given for the magisterial enquiry. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,” the Chief Minister stated.
