Agartala, May 2 (TIWN / IANS) A Tripura Police official and commandant of the elite Tripura State Rifles (TSR) has been suspended by the state government for alleged financial irregularities, an official said here on Monday.
TSR eighth battalion commandant Dilip Debbarma was suspended for taking money from troopers, after falsely promising high returns in gold business, a police official said.
He said there were other allegations of wrongdoing against Debbarma, who was suspended from service after a departmental probe.
