Tripura police harassing journalists under Section 160
TIWN Nov 30, 2018

AGARTALA, Nov 30 (TIWN): With a news publication in Tripurainfoway.com, Tripura police instead of going in legal paths are busy to harass the journalists whether working or not working in TIWN.

When TIWN Editor's lawyer Raghunath Mukharjee is ready to communicate with police 24X7 and TIWN Editor Saumen Sarker is also communicating with police directly, but instead of going with legal ways, police for hours questioned journalists where many police officer and SDPO were also present.

But on the next day, again that journalist was called in phone by East PS for same section 160. Even after lawyer visited police station, instead of telling everything to the lawyer, they rushed to journalist's home town with huge group and inquired the old parents and critically ill old mother. 

In similar way, photographers, other newspapers' journalists were questioned on 160 for long in police station to get any link with Tripurainfoway.com, as if working in Tripurainfoway.com is a crime for Tripura Journalists ?

Local police under order of Additional DGP Rajiv Singh sent false statement to US domain saying it's a criminal website and the owner is criminal. However, as US is a democratic country in true sense and the Editor has decadelong spotless past in his career there, so Tripura Police was not successful.

Then, Editor Saumen Sarker has lodged FIR against SP West and Dy SP West both after long denial of lodging FIR at East PS on Wednesday late night. TIWN facebook page is down and the Editor has filed police report on that too.
