Agartala, July 5 (TIWN): A dramatic incident unfolded in East Gokulpur's Khilpara Tilla area when a young man, identified as Tajir Islam, was caught red-handed stealing rubber by locals.
The accused allegedly confessed to stealing rubber to fund his drug addiction, intending to sell the stolen goods to purchase narcotics.
The enraged locals, upon catching Tajir Islam, administered a severe beating and shaved his head as punishment. Later, Tajir's mother arrived at the scene and took her son home after negotiating his release.
The incident highlights the community's frustration with theft and substance abuse in the area. While some may view the locals' actions as a form of vigilante justice, others might see it as a desperate measure to address a pressing issue. The incident has sparked conversations about the need for effective solutions to tackle addiction and crime in the community.
