Tripura Student Attack Leaves Youth Dead in Dehradun
The Tripura student attack took a tragic turn when 24-year-old post-graduate student Angel Chakma died from severe stab injuries on Friday. The assault happened on December 9 near a liquor outlet in Dehradun’s Selaqui area. Students in the region say the Dehradun student stabbing has raised serious questions about campus safety. Many groups believe the Tripura student case exposes deeper issues faced by students from the Northeast.
Racial Abuse Adds Urgency to Tripura Student Case
Angel’s brother, Michael Chakma, survived the attack and filed the police complaint. He claimed the attackers were drunk and allegedly used racial insults during the confrontation. His statement strengthened the racial angle in this Tripura student case, drawing wider attention to discrimination concerns. Student organisations note similarities between this incident and earlier Northeast student assault cases, arguing that the growing trend of racial attack on student incidents cannot be ignored.
Police Make Arrests in Northeast Student Assault; Prime Accused Missing
Senior Sub-Inspector Jitendra Kumar confirmed that police arrested five men — Avinash Negi, Shaurya Rajput, Suraj Khwas, Ayush Badoni and Sumit — within days of the assault. These arrests mark progress in the ongoing Northeast student assault investigation. However, the main accused in the Tripura student attack, a Nepal-origin resident of Haridwar, remains missing. Police formed a special team to track him and continue searching multiple locations as part of the larger Dehradun assault case.
Public Anger Rises After Dehradun Student Stabbing
Angel’s death has sparked strong responses from student groups, community organisations and Northeast associations. Many believe the Tripura student attack shows the urgent need for stronger safety measures in university towns. Representatives from Northeast communities point out that repeated Northeast student assault cases highlight a serious social issue requiring long-term solutions. Police have assured the public they will continue pursuing suspects and share updates as the Dehradun student stabbing inquiry progresses.
