Action was taken against four police officers while seven people were arrested in connection with the breach of premises at the Bangladesh High Commission in Agartala. Three sub-inspectors were suspended and a DSP was ‘closed’, asking him to report to the police headquarters, for alleged negligence in duty, SP of West Tripura Kiran Kumar K said.

“A suo moto case was registered at the New Capital Complex (NCC) police station over the incident. Seven persons have been arrested so far for their alleged involvement in the incident,” he said. Security was beefed up at the consulate following the incident, and CRPF and Tripura State Rifles (TSR) personnel were deployed, the SP said.
In Agartala, thousands of people took out a massive demonstration near the Bangladeshi mission on Monday against the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das as well as attacks on the Hindu community in Bangladesh. The protesters reportedly barged into the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh and allegedly resorted to vandalism, an incident the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described as “deeply regrettable”.
Condemning the incident, Chief Minister Manik Saha said, “During the protest rally, a group of youth tried to barge into the Assistant High Commission office of Bangladesh in Agartala. I condemned the incident. Peaceful protest can be allowed but such behaviour is not acceptable.” Agencies
