Tripura, 06 Sep 2026: A woman was allegedly assaulted at her home in Nonjala village under Bishramganj Gram Panchayat after she refused to rent out a room to a local youth, triggering tension in the area.
According to allegations, the youth, identified as Sahid Mia, and his wife entered the house of Lakshmi Sarkar and allegedly assaulted her. During the incident, her shakha (traditional conch-shell bangle) was allegedly broken.
