Nature of incident

May 16

West Tripura District

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.

"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.
