Centering the murder of Santanu Bhoumik state Tripura had undergone heavy political turmoils in 2017-18 pre-poll period and the state journalists on that time had demanded CBI investigation in his murder case but after the case was handed-over to CBI when BJP, IPFT parties formed a joint Govt in 2018, the entire issue gradually resulted in shocks for the joruanlists. It was realised that BJP and IPFT had deceived the journalists in the name of CBI investigation and used state journalists' sentiments centering Santanu's murder. Simply, the murder turned as BJP's 2018 poll tool.

However, talking to the media, DYFI Secretary Nabarun Deb said that till Santanu gets justice, the fight will not end and one day Santanu will definitely get justice.
