The stringent move came after the Congress submitted a representation to the ECI on the violence in Majlishpur, barely 18 km from the capital town.
The Election Commission (EC) on Friday suspended a sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) and removed two officers in charge (OCs) for "not taking appropriate action" during an attack on a Congress bike rally in West Tripura, officials said.
The stringent move came after the Congress submitted a representation to the ECI on the violence in Majlishpur, barely 18 km from the capital town.
Fifteen Congress leaders and workers, including AICC general secretary Ajay Kumar, suffered injuries in the attack, earlier this week, party MLA Sudip Roy Barman has claimed.
Shortly after the incident, the police registered three FIRs and arrested eight people for their alleged involvement.
