AGARTALA | June 29, 2026: Launching a scathing attack on the state administration over a series of violent crimes, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) West Tripura District Committee today alleged that the state has entered a “reign of terror” where the rule of law has ceased to exist. Addressing a press conference, CPI(M) West Tripura District Secretary Ratan Das, flanked by senior leaders Samar Chakraborty, Shubhashis Ganguly, Sudip Debnath, and Subhash De, detailed a catalog of murder, state-backed vandalism, and political suppression.
The opposition leadership revealed that high-level party delegations have visited the victims’ families and approached police authorities across multiple stations to demand impartial, time-bound judicial probes.
Series of Fatalities and Attacks Spark Institutional Alarm
Highlighting the deteriorating safety indicators in and around the capital, Ratan Das stated that recent fatalities initially labeled as unusual occurrences are clear cases of brutal murder. The leadership strongly brought up the recovery of a youth’s body from the Howrah River, asserting that the victim was murdered before being dumped.
The CPI(M) district secretary also drew a chilling parallel to national tragedies while addressing the suspicious death of Monisha Das, an employee at the Santiniketan Medical College.
”A climate of absolute panic is being deliberately sustained across Tripura. The brutal nature of Monisha Das’s death—which her father Ratan Das has explicitly filed as a case of premeditated murder—painfully reminds us of the horrific RG Kar Medical College incident. Whether it is the youth hacked with a cleaver (Boti Da) in broad daylight at Orient Chowmuhani, or the mysterious death of a youth at Sekerkote, the administration is busy downplaying cold-blooded crimes. There is absolute zero security for public life or private property today,” CPI(M) District Secretary Ratan Das asserted.
Allegations of Police Complicity and Political Suppression
The CPI(M) leadership leveled serious charges of structural bias and operational failure against the state police force, citing multiple instances of targeted harassment:
- Vandalism in Police Presence: The party alleged that a brutal computational assault and house-vandalism ring was unleashed on a residence near the Dasaratha Deb Stadium under the Badharghat (AD Nagar) police jurisdiction, shockingly executed right in the active presence of on-duty police officers.
- Srinagar School Subversion: Raising questions over a controversial security breach at a school within the Srinagar police station limits involving a local BJP leader’s son, Ratan Das demanded an immediate inquiry into how institutional keys were unlawfully handed over to unauthorized individuals.
- Framing of DYFI Activists: The opposition accused the administration of orchestrating a political frame-up by falsely implicating a Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) youth activist in connection with the recent Ramnagar high-rise explosion case.
- Denial of Democratic Space: The leadership revealed that the police administration is actively denying basic democratic permissions to the CPI(M) to host peaceful organizational rallies and programs in the Jirania and Mohanpur sub-divisions.
The CPI(M) West Tripura District Committee concluded the briefing by demanding an immediate, transparent overhaul of the ongoing investigations in the Kathaltali and Srinagar cases, warning that the left fronts will initiate widespread civil agitations if the police continue to shelter politically connected culprits
