Tripura, 14 Nov 2026:<\/strong> The Tripura Working Journalists\u2019 Association (TWJA) Women\u2019s Cell on Saturday submitted a deputation to the East Agartala Police Station, demanding the immediate arrest of those allegedly involved in the assault and harassment of woman journalist Shreyasi Debnath Majumdar.

The deputation comes in the wake of an incident on November 10, when Shreyasi Debnath Majumdar was allegedly harassed and physically assaulted while returning home after completing her professional duties in Agartala. According to the complaint, she was subjected to inappropriate remarks by an auto-rickshaw driver and subsequently faced physical and mental harassment involving another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the incident, the journalist approached the police on November 11 and registered a case. However, the association expressed concern that the prime accused had not yet been arrested despite several days having passed since the incident.

Speaking to the media after submitting the deputation, TWJA Women\u2019s Cell General Secretary Shatarupa Debnath strongly condemned the incident and demanded a fair investigation and immediate action against the accused.

She stated that the association had formally requested the police to ensure the arrest of the accused within the next 48 hours. She also warned that if no significant progress was made within the stipulated time, the association would be compelled to launch a protest.

Shatarupa Debnath further highlighted the growing concerns over the safety of journalists, stating that journalists, irrespective of gender, frequently face threats, intimidation and physical harassment while carrying out their professional responsibilities.

She urged the police administration to take journalists’ security seriously and play a stronger role in ensuring their safety so they can perform their duties without fear.

The association has called for strict action against those responsible and demanded adequate security measures for working journalists across the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
