AGARTALA, Nov 22 (TIWN): Tripura opposition leader, BJP’s state observer Sunil Deodhar on Wednesday said, “We do not have any trust on SIT, CID and Tripura Police, nor the 37 lakhs of people have trust on state police. If we talk about Ganadoot murder case, who killed own staffs in his office was released and who killed the 3 media persons police till day police couldn’t prove”. Reacting over the murder of Sudip Datta Bahumik, Sunil Deodhar said, “Democracy has been shadowed after yesterday’s incident. It was not only an attack upon Freedom of Speech, but in whole world such incident didn’t happen that state military force has killed a journalist. Under Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar the 4th pillar of democracy has been fully collapsed".

"Everybody knows that Tapan Debbarma, who is a corrupt official is very closed to Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. Against Tapan Debbarma some write-ups came in media, written by Sudip Datta Bhaumik and to take revenge Tapan Debbarma called Sudip Datta Bhaumik at his room and killed him. All evidences of Tapan Debbarma's direct involvement in the murder were available in Tapan Debbarma’s room". 

"Blood spots were found in his room and also the burnt articles were recovered from there. Sudip Datta Bhaumik's dead body was stretched out of his room after murder and those blood spots were also visible”.

“We don’t have any trust on Tripura Police’s investigation. Neither CID, nor SIT we only demand CBI inquiry, otherwise no justice will be possible”, added Deodhar.

“The 4^th Pillar of democracy is now fully collapsed. Manik Sarkar should resign right now and face the election. After yesterday’s incident Manik Sarkar has lost his right to be seated on CM’s chair”, said Deodhar.

“3 media persons were killed in Ganadoot office, but who killed them till day police couldn’t find out. No development in Santanu murder case and Jiten Das like criminals are released who chopped his wife. Whenever CPI-M is involved in the murder or CPI-M sponsored murder is held then through SIT and Fast Track  court the criminals are acquitted. Same, should not happen in Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s murder case. So, we demand CBI investigation both in Sudip Datta Bhaumik and santanu Bhaumik’s murder case", Deodhar told media.
