AGARTALA, Oct 20 (TIWN): Two sided stories are being spread centering a clash erupted between tribal community and local Muslim community in Tripura on Ashtami night.

The incident started after a girl was attacked in attempt of rape / molestation by Ranir Bazar area's four Muslim men when she was with her friend on the way to her home. 

In between the boy stopped the bike for nature call. On that time four Muslim men molested the girl but few local people saw that incident and saved both of the boy and victim girl. 

After that incident police immediately arrested four culprits but it has been alleged that the Muslim families demanded to release the four accused. In the mean time a huge numbers  people came on the spot and they also burnt few houses. 

After that around 80 Muslim families gheraoed Ranir Bazar PS on Ashtami night as many families lost their houses. They have demanded compensation for them. The Muslim families alleged, when Minister NC Debbarma came to the spot, the tribal people were not ready to listen to him and also attacked him (according to Muslim families statement). Then the issue turned communal (Muslim vs. Non-Muslim)
