Eight individuals were arrested in Tripura’s Sepahijala district for assaulting four Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, including Assistant Commandant Rohit Kumar, during an incident in Ashabari, Boxanagar. The confrontation began on Monday when BSF officers from the 49th Battalion allegedly assaulted a local resident over a smuggling dispute, prompting residents to block the Boxanagar-Rahimpur road and protest. During the unrest, protesters attacked the BSF team and vandalized their vehicle, resulting in injuries that required medical attention at a local health center. Chief Minister Manik Saha condemned the violence via social media, describing the attackers as “miscreants” and directing authorities to take strict legal action. Police confirmed the arrests and stated that all involved would face justice under the law.
