Agartala, April 21, 2025: A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan identified as Moni Kundan of the Tripura’s Maharani Battalion in Udaipur under Gomati district was shot under mysterious circumstances on Monday morning sparking tension in the Karbook assembly constituency’s border area.
According to official sources, the jawan was initially rushed to Natunbazar Hospital following the incident. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was referred to Gomati District Hospital and later shifted to GB Hospital in Agartala for advanced treatment.
