Agartala, Aug 14: The teachers fraternity of Tripura staged silent protest rally in Agartala against the assault of a teacher in Gomati district, who later died.
The teachers holding placards and banners raised slogan for justice for deceased teacher Abhijit Deb.
Deb died at the Agartala Govt Medical College on Saturday, two days after he was allegedly beaten up by unidentified miscreants at an undisclosed location in Gomati district.
The teacher was posted in a govt school. His wife, also a teacher, alleged that two unidentified persons forcibly took him away from a local market in Udaipur on August 8.
“Today, we have gathered here to protest against the merciless killing of a teacher. Without any reason, miscreants thrashed him. He was admitted at Agartala government hospital where he died during treatment. We demand justice for the victim teacher,” said a protesting teacher.
He further said, “We appeal to the chief minister of Tripura to take steps that in near future such incidents against teachers would not be repeated. We demand investigation into the case and take necessary action to nab the culprits.”
The wife of the deceased teacher said her husband was called to one Shankar Karmakar’s house on Polotti Road in Udaipur town and beaten up for allegedly sending obscene messages to a Class VII girl, whom he would give private tuitions.
Later that night, he was handed over to police with critical injuries.
The deceased’s wife accused the girl’s family of hiring the miscreants to kill her husband.
