A Tripura State Rifles (TSR) jawan, Anjan Das, has been apprehended for attempting to smuggle packets of Biri into the Tripura Central Correctional Home in Bishalgarh, Sepahijala district. The incident occurred on Wednesday and has since gone viral, triggering a major internal investigation.
Das was caught in the act of transporting the Biri packets, allegedly for the purpose of earning extra money by supplying them to inmates. Following his arrest, Das has been reassigned to the headquarters of the 11th Battalion at Pathaliaghat. This move comes in response to multiple complaints regarding his misconduct and suspicions of using his position to facilitate the supply of intoxicants to prisoners.
A video showing Das being searched by jail authorities and the subsequent recovery of the Biri packets was widely shared on social media. This footage has prompted a swift reaction from the state government. An internal inquiry has been launched, led by the Deputy Superintendent of the jail, to investigate the incident and the leak of the video.
