Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said a magisterial probe has been ordered into the case.

“Saddened by the death of Badal Tripura (33) from Kaladepa under Manubazar PS. Following a complaint of wrongdoing by certain officials, the sub-inspector concerned, and the constable of Manubazar PS have been suspended. Further, instructions have been given for the magisterial enquiry. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family”, he said in a social media post.

Badal Tripura, a resident of Kaladepa in South Tripura district, passed away on Thursday following allegations of police brutality. He and Chiranjit Tripura, 35, were taken into custody on October 13 for allegedly causing disturbances in an intoxicated condition but were released the following day.

Upon release, Badal’s health deteriorated, and he was taken to Manubazar Primary Health Center. He was subsequently transferred to Santirbazar Hospital on October 14 and then to Govind Ballabh Pant (GBP) Hospital in Agartala the following day.
