Former Health Minister and the lone Congress MLA in Tripura Sudip Roy Barman was injured on August 11 afternoon in a second attack on him, in less than two months. He has been admitted to the Trauma Centre of the Agartala Government Medical College and Hospital here.
He was injured on his head when two vehicles carrying Congress leaders and their personal guards came under attack from the miscreants at Ranir Bazar in Jirania, 10km east of Agartala. They were returning after attending a ‘Bharat Jodo’ programme, which was disrupted due to restrictions imposed by the police.
Miscreants pelted bricks and stones on the vehicles resulting in the injury of the MLA. The vehicles were damaged and window-panes broken.
