Agartala, Sep 9 (PTI) A day after violent clashes broke out between the ruling BJP and oppsition CPI(M) in parts of Tripura, leaving several people injured, a top police officer said on Thursday that search to nab the culprits was underway across the state.
Over 10 people, including journalists, were injured, offices of political parties gutted and vehicles set on fire by miscreants in Gomati, Sephahijala and West Tripura districts during the clashes.
At least four offices of media houses were also vandalised during the mayhem.
A ten-member delegation of senior journalists met Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Arindam Nath during the day seeking immediate action against the trouble-makers.
Nath, at the meeting, gave assurance that the police will take steps to bring the culprits to book.
He said that the probe into the attack on local media house Pratibadi Kalam and its TV wing PB24 has been handed over to the state crime branch as its editor, in his complaint, has claimed that the officer in-charge of West Agartala police station, who was present at the scene, did not take any action.
