Tripura 03 Nov 2026: Two prime accused in the murder of Jalil Rahman, who was allegedly beaten to death by a mob on suspicion of cattle theft in Gilatali under Kalyanpur Police Station, have surrendered before the police.
The two accused surrendered at Kalyanpur Police Station on Monday night after remaining absconding for a prolonged period. With their surrender, the total number of accused arrested in connection with the case has reached four. Police had earlier arrested two persons in connection with the incident.
According to police, the incident took place on September 1 in the Gilatali area, where Jalil Rahman was allegedly subjected to a brutal mob assault on suspicion of being involved in cattle theft. He later succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Speaking about the development, Kalyanpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Ashish Sarkar said the two main accused had been absconding for a long time and had reportedly moved to different locations within the state as well as outside Tripura. They had also approached the High Court seeking anticipatory bail, but their pleas were opposed by the police and rejected by both the High Court and the Sessions Court.
The OC further stated that the accused eventually surrendered before the police on Monday. They have been taken into police custody for questioning, and the police will produce them before the court on Tuesday while seeking police remand.
Police have continued their investigation to determine whether any other individuals were involved in the brutal mob killing.
