AGARTALA, March 15 (TIWN): In a historical verdict, Tripura High Court has upheld the press-freedom and liberty of citizens by quashing Biplab Deb Govt's motivated Look out Circular (LoC) procedure against US based Tripura web-portal news Editor Saumen Sarkar.

 High Court has asked Govt and Police to take back LoC against TIWN Editor within 24 hours of the order. 

Tripurainfoway.com (TIWN) Editor Saumen Sarkar said, "Since year 2018's October month, there have massive intimidations against me by Biplab Deb Govt. Even my 75 to 80 years old parents were harassed through police machinery.  In 2019, the then SP Ajit Pratap Singh and Biplab Deb's chief advisor OSD Dilip Roy managed to issue Look out Circular notice against me in all Indian Airports, so that I can be arrested immediately after landing in India".

"But today finally, Tripura High Court not only quashed LoC against me but also has given warning to the State Govt. To destroy the democracy and to curtail the freedom of speech what has not the Govt done ?? But this corrupt machinery might had forgotten that "Satyameva Jayate" and Truth always wins ! I won because, I was on the path of Truth", said TIWN Editor. 

Briefing media at Tripura High Court, Adv Amitbha Roy Barman said that all these cases filed against Saumen Sarkar are motivated which have "no ground". 

High Court also asked Tripura Govt to withdraw LoC within 24 hours.
