Two people were arrested for their alleged involvement in a firing incident in Maharani of Udaipur in Tripura’s Gomati district that injured a Tipra Motha Party (TMP) candidate during the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) village council polling three days ago, police said on Thursday.
They were produced before court today. “We arrested them from Takarjala in Sepahijala district based on our secret information. Gomati Superintendent of Police (SP) Anirban Das suffered head injuries and an official vehicle of the Udaipur sub-divisional police officer was also vandalised by unidentified people during the violence.
We are investigating the matter to find involvement of others,” a senior police officer said.
The Supreme Court earlier directed the State Election Commission to hold the village council polls by the first week of September following a petition filed by TIPRA Motha Party supremo Pradyot Kishore Debbarma.
