MLA of the ruling BJP’s alliance partner TIPRA Motha Ranjit Debbarma on Sunday wrote a letter to the National Human Right Commission, Tripura DGP and Tripura State Human Right Commission and sought proper investigation and arrest of the Officer In-Charge of the Manubazar police station over the custodial death of Badal Tripura of Kaladepa ADC village.
In his letter to the commissions and DGP, the MLA cited instances of police harassment, torture, assault persisting inside police stations of Tripura and stated, “Even, proper medical attention is not being awarded to the arrested persons ignoring the specific guidelines of the Supreme Court of India.”
“Resultantly the injured persons subsequently facing tremendous physical problems including permanent deformity of their respective body. Most of the cases, the all instances are being happening with the direct and indirect knowledge and instigation of the respective Officer-In-Charges of the Police Stations. It is observed that in almost all the cases the Officer-In-Charge of the police station escaped from the ambit of punishment under law in this State of Tripura,” the letter reads.
The latter further stated, “It is quite absurd to believe that the whole episode of torture on Tiprasa Youth Badal Tripura happened without the consent and knowledge of Officer-In-Charge of Manubazar Police Station. As such, the massive complain and inconvenience arose from the part of the Non-Gazetted Police Officers and Staffs in respect of the release of the Officer-In-Charge from the ambit of punishment under law. Under the above circumstances, I do place an earnest request to put forward strict police action like arrest of involved Officer-In-Charge of Manubazar Police Station for abetment of the death of Tiprasa youth.”
