Tripura Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the violence that erupted in Shantir Bazar village, Kamalpur sub-division, Dhalai District, following a 24-hour bandh called by the Tripura Civil Society.

A senior police official confirmed that the arrests were made late Saturday night. “The police conducted a raid in the Maharani area under Salema police station and apprehended Riaz Debbarma. During his transfer to the station, a crowd attacked the police vehicle, causing damage.
