The CPI-M, the main Opposition party in Tripura, has called for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe or a judicial inquiry by a sitting judge into the mysterious death of a 24-year-old woman working at a private medical college in the state. Leader of the Opposition in the Tripura Assembly, Jitendra Chaudhury, visited the victim’s family and alleged that the woman was “murdered.”
Chaudhury criticized the police for prematurely concluding it was a suicide before the post-mortem report was available. He emphasized the need for an SIT investigation or a judicial inquiry to reveal the truth behind the incident. The woman’s family and local residents expressed dissatisfaction with the ongoing police investigation, as per the CPI-M leader.
The Tripura government’s Home Department has initiated a magisterial inquiry into the woman’s death and mandated a report submission within 15 days. The deceased, who had recently been transferred to the examination cell of the medical college, was found dead on the college premises. Allegations of foul play and demands for a transparent investigation have emerged, raising public concern.
