AGARTALA, Jan 13 (TIWN): Citizenship Bill’s introduction all of a sudden ahead of Lok Sabha election has bleed Tripura, has also termed irresponsible move of Modi Govt by State MP Jitendra Chadhury. The bloodmouth was of none other than but State Police and Rifles who instead of protecting the agitators of the bill, replied them with bullets. A well-cooked story was made whoever was behind the violence by burning public property, stone pelting and putting all blames to the agitators and 4 days long internet was cut, but when internet was returned on yesterday, videos of actual incidents were given in social media which are now viral. Two videos basically are enough proof to prove police and the ruling party led violence in Tripura ADC areas by intrusion of outsiders with BJP flag to destroy the peace. The first video shows that the public property at Jirania was not destroyed by NESO organization called strikers, but all those who came with BJP flags burning bikes and vandalizing shops, burning them further. The second video was more shocking where police were attacking the ambulance which was carrying two critical patients at GB hospital from Khumulwng.

The police then stretched people from the ambulance and beaten them but anyhow the ambulance managed to escape from there. Why police were doing this, no clarification came in this regard. However so far no action was taken any against any police official and who ordered the firing it hasn’t come out.

6 youths were injured at Madhabbari in Jirania on Tuesday, 2 serious after SP West Ajit Pratap Singh led sudden firing order following little clash occurred at there during protest against Citizenship Bill. All of the injured youths are supporters of IPFT (Tipraha) and few from NESO.

Talking to the victim party, they said that during a road blockade in peaceful movement, two teams came face to face but suddenly police started firing but for that police neither announced anything in prior led the brutal incident.

Apart from Ajit Pratap, DIG Arindam Nath’s (IG-Law&Order) role also under scanner and Additional DGP Rajib Singh’s name is also under accuse alleged list.

Jirania police firing shot 6 youths have shocked the state over unnecessary firing, lapses in law and order. Tiprasa people as well as Tripura’s all section of people are fueling against the BJP Govt led critical condition erupted in the state, whereas SP West Ajit Pratap Singh is liable for the whole brutal attack. 

Statewide massive condemnation against the Govt’s move has been started and SP West Ajit Pratap Singh’s suspension has been demanded. So far, no action was taken against Singh however.

Now, after Jirania’s Police brutality, violence, statewide demand raised for suspension of the SP West. But surprising matter is that from former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar to BJP Minister Sudip Barman, INPT, IPFT all leaders have visited GB hospital but Chief Minister Biplab Deb who is also the Home Minister hasn’t made any visit at GB till night.

Earlier, Tripura police came with same brutality image after one senior journalist was killed in Tripura State Rifles camp in 2017. Before that one Congress activist Papai Saha also died in same brutality.
