AGARTALA, Oct 9 (TIWN): Tripura BJP has continued its demand for immediate CBI investigation in Tripura journalist Santanu Bhowmik's murder case. 4 hrs demonstration was shown at Mandai demanding CBI investigation in Santanu murder case led by BJP leader Subol Bhowmik.

But, BJP's failure as the opposition to led Centre to intervene in the issue can not be ignore like Karnataka, where Union Home Ministry had sought reports of Gouri Lankesh's murder case.

However, 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.
