Body retrieved from refrigerator in Tripura, six arrested
Agartala: In a chilling case that has sent shockwaves across Tripura, police have arrested six people on Wednesday, including a doctor and his parents, for the alleged murder of a 24-year-old man whose body was found stuffed inside a refrigerator in Gandacherra, Dhalai district.
The crime reportedly occurred on June 8 night in Agartala and the body was recovered three days later.
West Tripura district SP Kiran Kumar told reporters that the murder appears to have been driven by a love triangle involving the victim and the prime accused.
The deceased, Sariful Islam, an electrician associated with the Agartala Smart City Project, was allegedly lured to the residence of doctor Dibakar Saha (29) in the Indranagar locality of the city under the pretext of receiving a gift.
Upon arrival, Sariful found three others present — Animesh Yadav (21), Nabanit Das (25), and Jaydeep Das (20). Investigators believe the murder was premeditated.
"Initial findings suggest that Dibakar Saha was in love with a woman who happened to be his cousin. The victim, Sariful, was also in a romantic relationship with the same woman. Jealousy and rivalry appear to be the primary motives behind the crime," SP Kumar said.

According to the police, the group strangled Sariful to death and concealed his body in a trolley bag. The body was later moved to another location. On June 9, Saha's parents — Dipak Saha (52) and Debika Saha — allegedly arrived in Agartala from Gandacherra with a vehicle to assist in disposing of the body. The body had been stored in a refrigerator before being transported to Gandacherra.
All six accused — Dibakar Saha, the three accomplices, and his parents — have been arrested and are currently in police custody.
"The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be shared as they emerge," the SP added.

12 men accused of murder during 2020 riots acquitted
New Delhi: A court acquitted 12 people accused of killing a youth during the 2020 riots in northeast Delhi, citing a lack of evidence and contradictions in the statements of witnesses. The court of additional sessions judge Pulastya Pramachala said on June 5 that the investigating agency failed to prove the charges of murder, rioting, criminal conspiracy to murder and destruction of evidence against the accused. According to the prosecution, 12 men who were part of a rioting mob on Feb 25, 2020, killed Aas Mohammad and threw him in the drain at Bhagirathi Vihar/Johripur pulia. He was coming on foot from the Loni border side in Ghaziabad. The chargesheet was filed on the charges of murder along with rioting, arson, criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity between different religious groups and statements conducing to public mischief under Indian Penal Code. The prosecution also alleged that as per the chats of a WhatsApp group, the accused and their associates conspired to teach Muslims a lesson for attacking the Hindus. They equipped themselves with lathis, dandas, sticks, etc., by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

The court gave the benefit of doubt to all accused. "In the absence of some concrete evidence laying down the foundation, no presumption can be raised that some persons identified as part of some mob at some place at some other time period would also have been part of a mob, and such mob was involved in the incident of murder of Aas Mohammad," the judge noted in the 62-page judgment. The acquitted people are Lokesh Kumar Solanki, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Ankit Chaudhary, Prince, Rishabh Chaudhary, Jatin Sharma, Vivek Panchal, Himanshu Thakur, Tinku Arora, Sandeep Thakur and Sahil alias Babu. However, the court convicted Solanki of promoting enmity, doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony and statements conducing to public mischief for inciting communal violence during the riots. "Accused Lokesh was a member of this group since the beginning. Some of the messages posted by him in this group are already reproduced in this judgment. I have gone through the messages posted in this group by different members. As the name suggests, the central focus of messages in this group has been to unite the persons from the Hindu community. However, on that pretext, messages started pouring in to the effect of abusing the Muslims. Messages were posted to call upon the members to assemble together, so as to counter the Muslims," the judge said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Nolta's murder: One arrested, mastermind still at large
1 2 Panchkula: In a chilling twist to a crime that has shaken the quiet town of Pinjore, police have arrested one of the key suspects in the brutal murder of national kabaddi player Sonu Nolta, even as the alleged mastermind, Piyush Piplani, remains on the run. The arrest came a week after Nolta was gunned down outside Amravati Mall on June 5, a night that turned deadly when four men allegedly ambushed him in a calculated act of violence. The motive? A sinister bid to assert dominance in the area, police claimed. The breakthrough came Wednesday evening when police nabbed Sameer Khan, a resident of Saini Mohalla, who had been living under the radar. His arrest followed the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on June 10, led by ACP (crime) Arvind Kamboj. Investigators believe Sameer was drawn into a deadly alliance with Piplani and another local, Ankush Solanki. Together, they allegedly plotted Nolta's murder, conducting a recce in a car before executing their plan. On the fateful night, as Nolta arrived at the mall to watch a movie, the assailants struck. Gunfire erupted, leaving Nolta fatally wounded and his cousin, Nitin alias Prince Rana, injured. In a brazen move, the suspects uploaded a video of the attack on social media — an act that would become their undoing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indian Stewardess Makes Headlines Worldwide medalmerit Learn More Undo Police traced the video's IP address within hours. Ironically, during their escape, Piplani reportedly shot himself in the hand by accident. The group abandoned their vehicle at PGI Chandigarh the next day, where police later recovered a spent cartridge — vital forensic evidence. With Piplani still at large, police have launched an aggressive manhunt. Eight special teams are scouring hideouts across Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, and Mohali. Investigators are leaving no stone unturned — tracking digital footprints, analyzing call records, and interrogating friends and family. DCP (crime) Amit Dahiya confirmed that past criminal records of the suspects are under scrutiny, and forensic experts are working to build an airtight case. On Thursday, Sameer was remanded to five days in police custody. During the court hearing, Nitin Rana, still recovering from his injuries, identified Sameer as one of the shooters.
