I tried to be No-1 in everything since my childhood, following my teacher’s advises. Whatever I am today because I tried to be number 1 in everything either it’s sports, or studyâ€.

In a division Bench of High Court comprising of Chief Justice T. Vaiphei and Justice SC Das, Datamohon was removed from all the accusations. Since then, Tripura govt is trying to bring back Datamohon as the law secretary.

Either it’s Ayyangar or DGP K Nagraj, S K Panda or Bimal Chakraborty----- all controversial figures are in top position in Tripura’s various depts.
