A 44-year-old Tipra Motha worker died after being assaulted by “unknown miscreants” in poll-bound Tripura’s Dhalai district, a police officer said on January 19.
Four persons have been arrested in this connection, the officer said.
Pranajit Namasudra, along with his friend, was returning home in a four-wheeler on January 18 evening, when the miscreants allegedly stopped his vehicle in the Bamancherra area, dragged him out, and assaulted him, Additional Superintendent of Police Binoy Kishore Debbarma told PTI over phone.
A police team, on being alerted, rushed to the spot and took Namasudra to Kamalpur hospital, where doctors then referred him to Kulai district hospital, the ASP said.
“On being taken to Kulai health facility, Pranajit was declared brought dead around 11.30 p.m.,” he said.
Taking to Twitter, the regional outfit’s supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma appealed for peace.
“Please don’t react or do anything. I am personally verifying what has happened! The last thing we need is violence in the build-up to the election,” he wrote.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
