AGARTALA, Aug 24 (TIWN): West police is taking action with 'attempt to murder' case under Indian Penal Code 307 against the violent IPFT cadres. IPFT not only assaulted the police official of DSP Tarun Debbarma but also left him seriously injured. After visiting DSP Tarun Debbarma, addressing media SP Abhijit Saptarshi said, “Today IPFT had a massive rally at khumlwng. Almost for the whole day the rally was completed peacefully, whereas during dipersal nearby there is a CRPF stadium, where some youths who were very rude and very indisciplined injured our DSP Tarun Debbarma. The duty officer was seriously assaulted, injured”. “Tarun Debbarma has received head injuries and body injuries together. We want to specifically mnetion it was attempt to murder. But this is toatlly an unfortunate incident”, said the SP West. “Since morning police personnel were deployed. They didn’t eat rice even in the morning and doing duty under sun and rain. So, it’s not tolerable that IPFT leader will attack them like that”, said Saptarshi.

“I told their leaders after that incident that please see how your supporters are behaving. Such kind of indiscipled and criminal activity we will not tolerate. So, now investigation will go on. Here from DGP to all high officials are present”, said SP.

IPFT had kicked off the bare body rally at Khumlwng on their Tipraland Day and a massive rally was conducted at Khumlwng in demand of a separate land called Tipraland only for tribals. 'Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) supporters walking in a procession through Khumlwng today created mayhem and lawlessness in larger part of the area', said SP. At the end of procession IPFT supporters attack security personal of ADC Chairman Dr Ranjit Debbarma in the evening near Thang Thang Bazar area.

Traun Debbarma was seriously wounded and the victim rushed to  hospital for further treatment. Tension prevail in and around Khumlwng. 

Since the morning huge number of young participants were seen going to join the rally at Khumlwng. But many youths were seen sitting on the roof of the vehicles, amid high speed.

A Amarpur, Udaipur, South and North Tripura--- all over the state CRPF, police were seen in maintaining the tight patrolling.

At Agartala Krishna Nagar area has kept under heavy security.

IPFT was to conduct the rally on Agust-23 at Agartala, but following IPFT's 10 day long blockade at National Highway and last year 2016's clashes among the Tribal and Bengalis have led the administration not to permit for IPFT's rally on 2017's same day.
