Nutanbazar, Sept 18: The Leader of the Opposition in the state and Secretary of the CPI(M) Tripura State Committee, Jitendra Chowdhury visited the family of deceased Gautam Das in Chelagang on Wednesday. Das, who passed away some time ago, has yet to see justice as the Chelagang police have not arrested or punished those responsible for his death.

Chowdhury met with Das’s parents, siblings, and neighbours, gathering details about the ongoing case. He was accompanied by former minister Sudhan Das, ex-MLA Priya Mani Debbarma, Pradip Das, and other party members.

Chowdhury criticized the police for their inaction, stating, “When protectors become predators, there’s little hope for justice. To confront injustice and ensure fair trials, unity among the public is essential. While not all police are corrupt, a small segment appears to be colluding with the ruling party, which is a grave misfortune.”

Chowdhury noted that despite having a list of 6 to 7 suspects, no arrests have been made. Chowdhury promised to address the matter with the Chief Minister and in the state Assembly.
