An activist of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) was stabbed last evening outside a school at Kailashahar in Unakoti district of north Tripura, the police said.

A police official confirmed the attack.
The student wing of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has claimed that the attack was "communal".
Prohibitory orders have been imposed in Kailashahar. This means that a gathering of more than four people is banned unless specifically permitted. There are also reports of low-key incident involving two different communities from the district, police sources added.
"Accused have been arrested in the stabbing incident in Kailashahar. Section 144 imposed in the area; situation under control. People should abide by law. Neither should they spread rumours nor believe in them," UK Chakma, Unakoti District Magistrate, told reporters.
