The Tripura Human Rights Commission has initiated a suo moto complaint in response to the alleged custodial death of Badal Tripura, a 33-year-old man from Kaladepa, South Tripura. Badal reportedly succumbed to injuries attributed to police brutality while under the custody of Manubazar police on October 17. In light of these serious allegations, the Commission has instructed the Director General of Police (DGP) to conduct an immediate inquiry and present a preliminary report within two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n Five police officers\u2014including a sub-inspector, a constable, and three special police officers (SPOs)\u2014have been suspended pending the investigation. The Commission, led by its chairperson, Justice SC Das, and members BK Ray and U. Choudhuri, emphasized that the prima facie evidence suggests a human rights violation, thereby necessitating urgent action.<\/span><\/p>\n Chief Minister Manik Saha has also ordered a separate magisterial inquiry into the incident. \u201cSaddened by the death of Badal Tripura\u2026 My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,\u201d he stated, affirming the suspension of involved officers and the initiation of the inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n The troubling incident began when Badal Tripura and a companion, Chiranjit Tripura, were detained on October 13 for allegedly causing a disturbance while intoxicated. Although they were released the next day, Badal\u2019s health rapidly declined. He was taken to multiple health facilities, including Manubazar Primary Health Center and later to Santirbazar Hospital, before finally being moved to Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital in Agartala. After being discharged, he tragically passed away at home.<\/span><\/p>\n In outraged response, Badal\u2019s family protested at Manubazar police station, demanding justice and the arrest of officers accused of torturing him. A senior official confirmed that a case has been filed, and the five officers involved in the arrest have been detained following the family\u2019s complaint. This incident has cast a spotlight on concerns of police conduct and human rights in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Tripura Human Rights Commission has initiated a suo moto complaint in response to the alleged custodial death of Badal Tripura, a 33-year-old man from Kaladepa, South Tripura.
