Post-poll, Tripura militants torture tribals
Agartala: At least 67 tribal families have been driven out of their homes, their menfolk beaten up, women stripped and belongings looted by insurgents of the National Liberation Front of Tripura in a remote part of Dhalai district, the police said.
The militants had raided Karnamuni and Tetia several times since March 13 because the villagers did not vote for the NLFT-backed Opposition candidate in the February 7 Krishnapur Assembly election, the police said, quoting a delayed report. The CPI (M) won the seat. The men were hit with rifle butts and caned. Women were beaten up and their cattle, poultry and grain looted. The families have now taken shelter beside a highway near camps of the paramilitary Tripura State Rifles (TSR) and the CRPF.
Special TSR contingents have launched a search in the area to track down the insurgents. — PTI
