Badal Shill was attacked on July 13 at Chottakhola Bazar, succumbing to his injuries at Agartala GBP Hospital. Shill’s family filed a case against seven individuals, leading to the arrest of Amal Das, Rinku Poddar, and Pradip Nama, who are in judicial custody. One suspect, allegedly linked to the BJP in the local Gram Panchayat, remains at large. The police have sought remand for the three suspects arrested recently.
