Agartala, 14th November 2026 : An investigation has been initiated by Sonamura police and the sub-divisional administration following the filing of multiple police complaints against MLA Tafajjal Hossain over his controversial remarks concerning indigenous communities.
As part of the investigation, a team of police and administrative officials visited the concerned area on Saturday and spoke with local residents to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the meeting during which the alleged remarks were made.
However, investigators reportedly received mixed and somewhat unclear responses from residents regarding the gathering and the statements made there. Some locals acknowledged that a meeting had taken place but appeared reluctant or unable to recall its details.
“They came here and held some sort of meeting. That’s what happened,” one resident told investigators. Another said that they could not clearly remember everything that had been said.
When questioned about the nature of the gathering, a resident maintained that it was merely a general meeting and denied any direct political affiliation among those who attended. The resident also stated that no family member was associated with any political party.
Asked whether members of other political parties would have been allowed to organise similar meetings, the resident said there would have been no reason to refuse permission, adding that if one group was allowed to hold a meeting, others could not be denied the same opportunity.
Residents further indicated that the police had visited the locality and subsequently left, while several remained uncertain about the exact content of the speeches delivered during the gathering.
The police and sub-divisional administration are continuing their inquiry to establish the sequence of events and verify the allegations surrounding the controversial remarks.
