Agartala, 3rd November 2026 : Two key suspects in the murder of Jalil Rahman, who died following a mob assault over allegations of cattle theft in Ghilatali, have surrendered before Kalyanpur police. The duo surrendered at the police station on Monday night, taking the total number of arrests in the case to four.
Rahman was allegedly beaten by a mob in the Ghilatali area under Kalyanpur Police Station on suspicion of cattle theft. He later succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at a hospital. The incident triggered widespread outrage and tension in the area.
Police had initially arrested two persons in connection with the incident, while the prime suspects remained absconding. Their alleged movement in the area without being apprehended had also raised questions over the police investigation and drawn criticism from various quarters.
The two key suspects eventually surrendered at Kalyanpur Police Station on Monday night. Confirming the development, Officer-in-Charge Ashish Sarkar said both accused had been taken into custody for interrogation.
They were produced before the court on Tuesday, with police seeking their remand for further investigation.
