Cow slaughtered in public on Eid in Tripura's Gomati district, 2 detained
The Tripura Police detained two persons for allegedly slaughtering a cow in public on the occasion of Eid in the Chhanban area of Udaipur under the Gomati district on Saturday. The police said that adequate security has been deployed in the Udaipur sub-division to ensure that no cow slaughter is carried out in the open. 'We detained two persons, and we shall take legal action against them as per the law. I appeal to all not to spread rumours. Adequate security was deployed to avoid any kind of violence. Law and order should be maintained,' said a senior police officer in the district. There were also reports of a minority family slaughtering a cow in the open in the Rajnagar area of Udaipur. After receiving the news, a police contingent came to the spot and brought the situation under control. 'We have taken action as per the law. Both parties have compromised,' said a police officer. However, no one has been detained or arrested in connection with the Rajnagar incident till the filing of this report. In a separate incident, a group of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal activists intercepted a vehicle loaded with cattle and handed it over to the West Agartala police station on Friday. Thereafter, residents and cattle owners from border areas gathered outside the police station, demanding the release of the cattle. 'We bought cows from Bishalgarh for Eid on Saturday. They (VHP) threatened our driver and handed over the vehicle to the West police. Can't we celebrate our festival?' asked a resident. They claimed that they had proper documents in their possession, yet they were made to wait outside the police station for at least 12 hours. In February 2022, the Tripura High Court ordered the state government to prohibit the sale of meat products in public places and streets and said the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) should prepare a long-term plan for setting up abattoirs and slaughterhouses.

Tripura Police arrest 2 in Unakoti tea garden mob lynching case
The Tripura Police Thursday arrested two people in connection with the recent lynching of a man at a tea garden in Kailashahar under Unakoti district. 'We brought three people for questioning to the police station. We registered a case against two of them and arrested them,' said an officer at the Kailasahar police station. The police also conducted a meeting with the management and workers of the tea garden and assured them that no innocent person would undergo any harassment due to the investigation into the lynching case. According to the police, the lynching took place on Tuesday after three people, including the deceased, Pradeep Das, were spotted taking away goats from the roadside in their vehicle. As the trio was trying to flee, a group armed with sticks tried to stop them. While attempting to flee from the spot, the vehicle hit and injured a tea garden worker. The vehicle, thereafter, fell into a concrete drain, and Pradeep Das was caught and lynched. The mob also set the vehicle on fire. The others in the vehicle reportedly managed to save themselves by hiding in the nearby forest. In February, at least five people were detained after a 35-year-old suspected thief was beaten to death by an irate mob at Belonia in South Tripura district. In June 2021, three suspected cattle smugglers were lynched at two different locations in Tripura's Khowai district. Tripura hogged the headlines with a series of mob lynching incidents over rumours of child kidnappings in 2018. The state government soon introduced the Tripura Lynching/Mob Violence Victim Compensation Scheme, 2018, for the assistance of victims of mob violence. The state cabinet decided to implement the law, taking cue from a Supreme Court order in July 2018, wherein the apex court directed all state governments to frame rules for implementing the scheme within one month. According to mob violence compensation rules, the state government has to pay Rs 4 lakh to families of people who die in mob violence, and Rs 2 lakh to those who get 80 per cent crippled, among others.
