AGARTALA, Feb 8 (TIWN): Illegal raids, tortures on common men have already become a part of daily incidents under Biplab Deb's Home Ministry in Tripura. In such an incident, former Congress MLA Gopal Roy's house was raided illegally by huge numbers of police forces after he filed an FIR against CM Biplab Deb for spreading fake news on COVID-19. After Gopal Roy filed a case against CM Biplab Deb, police sought raid permission for Gopal Roy's home from the Court citing Gopal Roy used an old paper from his MLA time's pad but he is no more an MLA. Gopal Roy has been a renowned figure of the city, lawyer and also a senior citizen but police's illegal entry to his home, harassment to him and his family sparked massive controversy. Congress State President Pijush Biswas, who is a senior advocate of Tripura High Court was standing outside Gopal Roy's home but police had locked the main gate of Gopal Roy's home from inside so that nobody can enter. Centering this undemocratic action of Police, a case was filed in High Court and Tripura Govt was issued a notice by the High Court. Earlier also Tripura Govt sought extra time for replying to Court notice but now the Govt has sought more time.

After Court's hearing, addressing media, senior advocate Purushottom Roy Barman said, "Gopal Roy's home was illegally raided by around 300 police personnel amid Court had rejected to give permission. Earlier also, Tripura Govt could not answer to the Court in this case and today also it has sought more time. I think, Govt does not have any answer and that's why delaying the case".
