Agartala, November 03, 2025. The Tripura Pradesh Congress’s Law, Human Rights & RTI Department on Monday submitted a strongly worded memorandum to the Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC), accusing the state government and the commission of failing to check a string of human-rights violations since the BJP came to power in 2018.

The memorandum signed by party’s department convenor and advocate Prashanta Sen Chowdhury, catalogues a series of incidents from mid-2024 through 2025 including communal violence, alleged custodial torture, mob attacks, denial of medical care, restrictions on border-area residents, assaults on journalists, repeated internet shutdowns, and growing crimes against women and says the THRC has been “inactive and indifferent”, thereby encouraging further violations. The Congress has given the commission 15 days to take “appropriate action” or face a “stormy revolutionary movement” across the state, the letter states. (Text of the memorandum supplied to this paper.)

Among the episodes cited by the Congress were the Kadamtala communal clashes of October 6–7, 2024, during which a Muslim trader was reported killed and several people injured amid arson and looting. Local reports and international monitors covered the unrest at the time.

The memorandum also points to the custodial death of Badal Tripura (reported October 16, 2024), whose family alleged torture while in police custody; several police personnel were detained following the incident.

Congress drew attention to the Ganda Twisa violence in July 2024, a wave of mob attacks and arson in Dhalai district after the death of a tribal youth and to a series of internet suspensions imposed by authorities during communal tensions.

The party also cited reports of alleged medical negligence at Agartala Government Medical College & GB Pant Hospital that prompted a THRC probe in May 2025, and said denial or delay of treatment had contributed to patient deaths.

In its memorandum, the Congress demanded that the THRC initiate probes, ensure punishment where warranted, and secure compensation for victims and their families. The party further warned that failure to act within the stipulated 15 days would trigger sustained protest action across the state.

The THRC and the state administration did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This newspaper has sought reaction from the BJP state unit and will update this story if and when replies are received.
