Two lawyers, Ansar Indori and Mukesh, have been booked by the West Agartala police after they authored and released the report 'Humanity under attack in Tripura; #Muslim lives matter'.
Sushil Sudele, the main accused in the case, has been out on bail since 2015 after he was convicted in a 2011 murder case. He enjoys close ties with top BJP leaders, including chief minister Shivraj Sigh Chouhan.
The protesters demanded the resignation of Tripura CM Biplab Deb over the state's alleged failure to protect Muslim minorities as well as the deafening silence of the BJP leadership.
There can be no reiteration that the state owes its responsibilities' in the maintenance of law and order and in 'providing citizens with the security to protect their life, livelihood as well as their properties,' the HC said.
