Police arrested another suspect on Thursday in connection with the attack on the security staff and driver of former State Health Minister Sudip Roy Barman in Agartala on May 1. With this, four persons involved in the incident have been detained.
Tripura Police are investigating the case on the basis of multiple first information reports (FIR). Several accused persons are on the run to evade detention.
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, who holds the Home portfolio, earlier directed top brass of the State police to take action against the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The State’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also condemned the incident.
