A local court in Tripura has
acquitted the chief of banned ATTF Ranjit Debbarma of the charge
of ambushing two legislators at Kaitacobrapara, a tribal hamlet
in West Tripura District in 2001. Additional District and Sessions
Court Judge SB Dutta acquitted Debbarma of the charge due to
lack of enough evidence. Two convoys of the then MLA Pranab
Debbarma and the then Executive Member of TTAADC Radhacharan
Debbarma along with escorts were passing through the hamlet
on April 26, 2001 when a group of militants of ATTF had ambushed
them and showered bullets on them. The militants had gunned
down altogether 21 people, including policemen and injured many
others. However, the two leaders had escaped the mayhem by hiding.

ATTF supremo Ranjit Debbarma expressed
his willingness to bring his former rival group, NLFT, to the negotiating
table. "This is the right time to work together to make Tripura
a model state," Debbarma said, after released from jail. Expressing
full faith in the Indian judicial system, Ranjit said, "I got justice
today." He had been charged with carnage, waging terror against
the state, mass killing and arms act violation. |
