The Tripura Police has arrested eight persons in connection with the communal violence that took place on Sunday following forceful collection of subscriptions for Durga Puja in Kadamtala under North Tripura District.

“We have arrested eight persons. The arrested were made following the forceful collection of subscription and the violence. We have deployed sufficient security forces. In various places people from both the religion have come together and holding peace meetings. The situation is totally under control now”, he said.
The incident occurred on Sunday when a family from the Muslim minority community in Kadamtala was traveling to Assam for medical treatment. While en route, they were reportedly stopped by a Durga Puja organizer who allegedly demanded a hefty sum of money. This led to a heated argument and eventually a scuffle. Following the confrontation, members of the Muslim community staged a protest outside the local police station, demanding action against the Puja organizer. Based on their complaint, two person were arrested.
However, the situation escalated when miscreants launched attacks on the local market, vandalizing and setting shops on fire, which further aggravated tensions.
