Tripura police arrest three for extortion and assaulting female officer
Police in Teliamura, Tripura, have arrested three men for allegedly extorting money under the pretense of Durga Puja donations and assaulting an on-duty female police officer.
The incident began when Sanjib Chakma was intercepted by members of a local club in the Shantinagar area, where they forcibly collected Rs 4,000 in cash. Following a complaint by Chakma, a police team led by Woman SI Sumitra Debbarma attempted to apprehend the suspects.
During the confrontation on a National Highway, the suspects reportedly acted aggressively. It is alleged that the suspects struck two female officers with a motorcycle, causing a pillion-riding officer to fall onto the road. The arrested individuals, identified as Dhruba Saha, Sudip Chakraborty, and Uttam Deb, face charges including forcible extortion, obstruction of government duty, and assault on a female police officer. The Khowai Court has placed the three men in 14 days of judicial custody.
