12 Hours To Find People Responsible For The Offices Attacked In Tripura
The media houses have given just 12 hours to the police in order to find the miscreants who have taken part in these activities. This deadline was given with the warning that failure to arrest the vandals might lead the media houses to take to the streets. Duranta TV is one of the major media houses which have been torched down by the supporters of BJP in Gomati. The hooligans have also restricted the file tenders from reaching their spot and have made baseless allegations against the editor, Ayub Sarkar.
Despite the repeated demands, not much information could be gathered from the officers handling the case of offices attacked in Tripura. CPM has retaliated by bringing out their own rally in protest. What do you think will happen in the investigation of this case? Will the ruling party face any consequences for their actions? Let us know in the comment section!
