Agartala, Oct 18: A delegation of CPIM MLAs visited the family of Harishankar Saha, a mobile shop owner from Melarmath in Agartala, who was recently murdered.

During the visit, the CPIM leaders interacted with Saha’s wife and son and expressed condolences to the grieving family.

The delegation, which included Sudip Sarkar, Nayan Sarkar, and Ramu Das, demanded strict action against the accused.

Speaking to the media, Sudip Sarkar strongly criticized the state government, pointing to a rise in crime and accusing it of failing to maintain law and order. 

He highlighted Saha’s murder, where the victim was stabbed in the presence of police personnel and other bystanders at Melarmath in the heart of Agartala Smart City.

“There is no rule of law in the state under the current government and they have lost control over the administration,” Sarkar stated.

Harishankar Saha, who was attacked on October 15 at his shop, was admitted to GBP hospital but succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.
