The Tipra Motha Party (TMP) on Monday gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the Tripura Police and State Election Commission (SEC), demanding the arrest of those allegedly involved in the firing incident during the Village Committee elections in Gomati district.
A TMP delegation led by senior leader and MLA Ranjit Debbarma met SEC Secretary Anurag Sen and submitted a memorandum seeking immediate action over the alleged attack at Wareng Bari, Ward No. 2, under Gamaria Village Committee in Matarbari RD Block on September 28.
According to the memorandum, TMP candidate Kachindra Reang, 36, along with supporters Naithok Jamatia, 26, and Udairam Reang, 40, were allegedly attacked by armed miscreants during polling.
The party claimed that Kachindra Reang suffered a gunshot injury to his stomach, while Udairam Reang was shot in the leg. Kachindra was later referred to GB Pant Hospital in Agartala, where his condition was described as critical in the memorandum.
The TMP has demanded prompt action from the authorities and the arrest of those allegedly responsible for the incident.
