He said, ‘A young man from Tripura, who was proudly Indian, was subjected to racial abuses, inhumanely insulted with words like Chinese and Momo and finally murdered. This was not an isolated incident of violence, it is the result of ignorance, prejudice and the failure of our society to recognize and respect our own diversity.

This incident is very shameful – Shashi Tharoor

Describing this incident as a worrying trend, the Congress leader said, ‘It is shocking and extremely shameful that racism is on the rise in North India, which is often hidden behind light jokes or institutional neglect.’ He said that discrimination against the people of north-eastern states hurts the basic concept of India. The Northeast, with its rich cultures, languages ​​and traditions, is not a distant part of Indian identity, but its core. Yet people from this area often face racial profiling, exclusion and abuse. This should stop now.

Demanding accountability beyond the courts, Tharoor said, ‘We have to demand justice for Aniel (Angel Chakma) not just in the courts, but also in the conscience of the nation. His death should not be reduced to a statistic or a total of headline moments.

India on Friday said three Bangladeshi nationals were killed while trying to steal cattle by crossing the Indian border and not by being beaten by a mob as claimed by Dhaka. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) clarified that the incident took place on October 15, about 3 kilometers inside the Indian border in Tripura.

Mob accused of murder

Rejecting Bangladesh’s allegations, India said that the three persons had entered Padmabil village with the intention of stealing cattle. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, they attacked the villagers with sharp iron weapons and knives, in which one villager died. After this the local people gathered and resisted the attackers.

The ministry said that two smugglers died on the spot, while the third died in the hospital. The bodies of the three have been handed over to Bangladesh and the police have registered a case and started investigation.

Tension in India-Bangladesh relations
This incident has happened at a time when relations between the two countries are already tense. Since the interim government of Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus came to power in August 2024, the rhetoric between the two sides on the border dispute and other issues has intensified.

Bangladesh dam: Bangladesh is allegedly constructing another dam near the Muhuri river in South Tripura, due to which there has been a possibility of flooding in the surrounding towns in the state. This development took place amid increasing tension between India and Bangladesh. On Saturday (April 18, 2025), CPM MLA Dipankar Sen from Belonia demanded immediate intervention from the Union Home Ministry on the issue.

According to the Times of India report, he quoted local residents as saying that the dam is about 1.5 km long and 20 feet high. Dipankar Sen said, “According to the Indira-Mujib agreement, no country is allowed to construct within 150 yards of the zero line, but this embankment has been built at a distance less than 50 yards and less than 10 yards at some places. Many water lifting projects were stopped in South Tripura due to the objection of Bangladesh under this section.

‘CMO waiting for report’

Sources in the CMO quoted that they are waiting for the report on the issue, while the local police said that they would investigate the incident. SP South Tripura Maurya Krishna C Sen said, “The matter has come to our notice and we are investigating it. At the moment, there is nothing to worry about.” He said that Bangladesh is continuously using 10 draggers with continuous operations.

This issue has arisen in the assembly

More than 500 families living in Netaji Subhash Chandra Nagar and Ishaan Chandra Nagar Gram Panchayats located on the northern bank of the Muhuri river near Belonia city on the Indo-Bangladesh border are afraid of floods during the monsoon. With the construction of this dam, the river water will stop and potentially Belonia can flood the city. In January this year, CM Manik Saha raised the matter of construction of a similar dam on behalf of Bangladesh in Kailashahar in Unakoti district. Local Congress MLA Birjeet Sinha had taken up the matter in the assembly and also told about the risk of flood and external threats.

Despite this, Bangladesh continued the construction work and due to this, India had to start a project to construct a large dams than the height of Bangladesh around Kailashahar to prevent the monsoon floods in the Manu River.
