Agartala, 2nd December 2025 : Police at Churaibari station have arrested another suspect in connection with the brutal attack on a schoolboy and his mother in Nadia Pur. The accused, identified as Tapas Sinha (38), son of Lakshindra Sinha and a resident of Ward No. 4 in Nadia Pur, was taken into custody following fresh leads obtained during interrogation of a previously arrested suspect.
