High rate of murder incidents have always been a matter of concern. In a shocking revelation it was seen that when in 2018 the numbers of murder cases were 67 throughout the year but only in 2019’s first months 67 murders took place.There are average 10 murders in Tripura per month which has increased now in May, June. In 2019 January 6, February 10, March 14, April 10, May 11, June 16.In 2018, 67 murders took place whereas in 2019 only in 6 months 67 murders reported. At least 255 rioting cases were filed in police stations across Tripura in 2018 a drastically hike than the previous years. The crime rate was not less in Tripura in the last one decade and still on high.

 Govt and Police however have said, it is totally focused on the conviction rate which is hugely higher than the previous Govt’s time.
