AGARTALA, Sep 21 (TIWN): Tripura BJP has demanded immediate CBI investigation in Tripura journalist Santanu Bhowmik's murder case. In a press conference BJP leader Subol Bhowmik on Thursday afternoon said, "Above 24 hours have been passed after Santanu was killed, but Tripura Govt is yet silent over the brutal murder of state's journalist. From State Govt side no statement has been given yet, but we BJP have come to know various intrigues related to his murder. If investigation is not gone in proper manner we will disclose those names soon who are related to his murder, but now for the sake of investigation we are silent"."Such clashes are generally covered by Kokborok based news media at first. But why only Santanu was called on the spot for the news coverage ? How before everyone Santanu was stretched to the jungle and brutally killed ?", said Bhowmik.
"Section 144 was already in action yesterday. Then how was he killed with sharp weapons before everyone ? This was a pre-planned cold blooded murder" added Bhowmik.
"2 injured persons who have somehow eloped yesterday, we BJP members also talked to them and we came to know about many facts. In 2003 at Mandai 11 murders took place in the similar manner. But like Shyamali Sharma, Nilima Debbarma (NCT member) Papai Saha cases Santanu's murder will not allowed to be dumped", added Bhowmik.
"The ongoing cases under CBI are slow because when CBI took the cases in hands it was much late, but in Santanu's murder case immediate actions should be taken. BJP will go for massive protest demanding CBI investigation", said Subol Bhowmik.
BJP in the press conference has also criticized the state govt for suspending internet service. "Stop everything, railway, highway, internet.........so that nobody can enter in CPI-M's regime", said Subol Bhowmik.
MLA Asish Saha claimed that atleast 5 BJP offices were ransacked on the last night. "Whole night there was extreme tension. If CPI-M was not involved in the murder, why BJP offices at Krishnanagar, Dhajanagae, Bankim Chandra Nagar, Nalgaia were damaged ? Our party activist Suman Saha was also heavily injured at Nalgaria", said BJP.
"Allowing the 10 day long National Highway blockade by IPFT has resulted in Santanu's murder. The 10 day long blockade was allowed by Tripura CPI-M Govt as CPI-M's policy is to Divide & Rule", said Asish Saha.
