A court on Thursday sentenced three senior CPI(M) leaders to two years in jail in a case relating to ransacking of a court building in south Tripura district & sessions judge in 2015. Those sentenced include Tapas Datta, former State president of the DYFI, a CPI(M) front organisation.
The incident occurred on September 2, 2015 when five left organisations enforced a nationwide general strike to press a set of demands. Mr. Datta, Trilokesh Sinha and Badal Debnath allegedly led a crowd to the court complex at Belonia, headquarters of the south Tripura district, and ransacked the rooms in the court complex.
The attackers had also allegedly threatened then district and sessions judge Ruhidas Paul with dire consequences.
