According to police, a group of unknown miscreants entered Jaban’s house and created panic. They vandalised several household items and then dragged him out of his room. His wife and granddaughter witnessed the attack and raised an alarm. However, the attackers ignored their pleas.

Jaban tried to run away after breaking free, but the miscreants caught him again. They assaulted him with bamboo sticks and iron rods. They then tied his hands and legs and dragged him into the courtyard. The attackers continued to beat him until he collapsed.

His family rushed him to a nearby local hospital. Doctors referred him to GBP Hospital in Agartala. Although doctors tried to save him, he died during treatment. Police later recovered bloodstained bamboo sticks and iron rods from the courtyard.

A case has been registered at Killa police station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police have started an investigation and are trying to identify the attackers. However, no arrests have been made so far.

Tripura has reported several similar incidents in the past few months. Last month, three people were arrested for killing a 51-year-old woman on suspicion of witchcraft in West Tripura. Earlier incidents in Unakoti and South Tripura also involved mob violence and superstition-driven attacks.

The latest killing has triggered concern among locals. Many residents demanded strict action and better awareness to stop superstition-related crimes in rural areas.

The government blamed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, alleging his provocative speeches, referencing the Arab Spring and Nepal Gen Z protests, incited the mob. Wangchuk ended his two-week hunger strike calling for statehood, but the Ministry of Home Affairs claimed he continued misleading the public despite multiple appeals to halt the strike.

On September 24, protesters attacked a political party office and the Government office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEC) in Leh, setting buildings ablaze, destroying property, and assaulting security forces. Police were forced to fire in self-defense, resulting in casualties.

The government emphasized that the High-Powered Committee (HPC) had made significant progress: increasing Scheduled Tribe reservations from 45% to 84%, reserving one-third of council seats for women, and declaring Bhoti and Purgi as official languages. Recruitment for 1,800 posts had also begun.

Authorities confirmed that by 4 PM, the situation was under control and urged the public not to circulate old provocative videos. The government reiterated its commitment to providing constitutional safeguards for Ladakh while condemning the violent actions.
