Agartala, May 15 (FD) The ruling Tipra Motha Party in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) has urged Tripura Director General of Police Anurag to take immediate steps to restore law and order in the Takarjala Assembly Constituency, alleging a rise in violent incidents linked to the recently concluded TTAADC General Election 2026.
Two delegations of the party, led by MLA Biswajit Kalai and Member of District Council Suraj Debbarma, submitted a memorandum to the DGP expressing concern over alleged bomb attacks, firing incidents and political violence during both the pre-election and post-election periods.
According to the memorandum, several incidents of violence across the constituency have created “a sense of fear among the general public” and disrupted peace in the area. The party specifically referred to an incident that allegedly took place on April 10 near the residence of Nirmal Debbarma, a BJP candidate in the TTAADC elections and Mandal President of the 12-Takarjala (ST) Assembly Constituency.
The memorandum alleged that supporters of the BJP leader attacked Tipra Motha workers “openly in front of the police using gunfire and sharp weapons”, leaving several persons injured, including the Superintendent of Police of Sepahijala district.
Tipra Motha further claimed that earlier incidents involving alleged attempted murder in broad daylight had not resulted in arrests despite the availability of evidence. The party alleged that the accused persons connected with the April 10 incident were still “roaming freely”.
The delegation also accused the police administration of acting selectively and delaying justice in cases involving attacks on Tipra Motha supporters. According to the memorandum, complaints lodged by the party were allegedly “delayed, denied and neglected”.
Referring to another series of incidents, the party stated that four bomb blasts took place on May 9 at different locations in the Jampuijala and Takarjala Assembly Constituencies, allegedly targeting the houses of Tipra Motha workers. It also claimed that a member of the Youth Tipra Federation was attacked in a separate firing incident in which four rounds were allegedly fired.
“Now, when peace had prevailed, why are such acts being repeated allegedly by BJP party workers? If not, why have only our party workers’ houses been targeted?” the memorandum stated.
The party further alleged that several accused persons were being sheltered at Bhagat Singh Youth Hostel in Agartala and claimed that “political favouritism and influence” were affecting the impartial functioning of the police.
Seeking immediate intervention, Tipra Motha requested the DGP to increase police patrolling, especially during night hours and in vulnerable areas, establish check posts at key entry and exit points, and form a special task force to identify and take strict action against those involved in the violence.
“We trust the state police under your leadership will take proactive measures to restore peace and security,” the memorandum added, while assuring full cooperation with the authorities to resolve the situation. FD JK
