Tripura's Udaipur has once again been shaken by a shameful incident of social degradation. 

Days after the murder of a teacher, the town is in the headlines again following the barbaric torture of a woman in Bhangarpar.

According to reports, a housewife named Purnima Das was publicly humiliated and tortured after being accused of an extramarital affair. 

On Friday, a group of women tied her hands and feet and forcibly cut her hair in full public view, while local people stood by, recording videos instead of intervening.

Shockingly, the incident was allegedly instigated by BJP booth president Nitai Dutta and local BJP leader Seema Begum, who are accused of leading the mob to the victim’s house. 

Witnesses allege that both leaders not only encouraged the act but also mocked the victim during the torture.

The victim’s husband, Swapan Das, and her in-laws reportedly did not oppose the mob attack. Villagers claimed that the humiliation was carried out to "teach her a lesson" over a past family dispute involving allegations of extramarital relations.

The disturbing video of the incident surfaced on social media on Sunday, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation. Civil society groups and locals have demanded immediate police action against those responsible, describing the act as “medieval barbarity” that has tarnished the face of Udaipur once again.

Following the outcry, Radhakishorpur Police Station personnel rushed to the spot. However, instead of taking action against the alleged masterminds, police reportedly booked relatives of the victim—Manju Rani Das, Putul Rani Das, and Hameda Begum—at the RK Pur Women’s Police Station. Meanwhile, the victim’s husband Swapan Das was taken to the police station on Sunday night, while those accused of instigating the mob remain untouched.

Locals fear that such incidents of public shaming and violence reflect a dangerous trend of lawlessness and the failure of the so-called civilized society to stand up against injustice. The Bhangarpar incident has now become the latest blot on Udaipur’s social fabric, with calls growing louder for strict action against the culprits, including political figures allegedly involved.
