AGARTALA, October 19, 2019: Tripura government headed by Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has unleashed second phase of punitive measure against police officers and personnel for their total failure to capture CPI(M)veteran PWD scam tainted Badal Choudhury who went into hiding after his anticipatory bail was rejected on Wednesday night.
The government placed Officer in Charge of West Agartala Police Station, DP Roy and six other police personnel including three personal guards of fugitive Badal Choudhury. The personal guards were sacked for failing to know whereabouts of a ‘protected person’.
Except Roy suspended personnel were either attached to DIB or Special Branch.
DP Roy has been replaced by Subrata Chakraborty who earlier held the position twice in west Agartala police station. Many expressed surprise over his appointment as he was attributed as a ‘loyal police officer’ during erstwhile CPI(M) led left front government.
