#Tripura 🚨
Supreme Court Advocates visited the state today to probe the violence that took place targetting Muslims, the team met the aggrieved parties & gathered facts. Team alleges that the incident happens to furtherance the political interest of BJP.

Probe reveals that the protests were held at 51 places in #Tripura over incidents of attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Violence started over the demonstrations, properties were burnt and a huge panic situation was created targetting particularly Muslims.

🚨Nizamuddin, owner of this stationary shop owner alleges that "RSS, VHP & Bajrangdal had announced to hold a rally 3 days before, they vandalized a Mosque & burned my shop. Police being less in number failed to take control over the situation". #TripuraViolence.

A team of #SupremeCourt lawyers and human rights organisations team visited areas, religious places which were attacked, spoke to the victims and eyewitnesses.

"State-sponsered violence led by VHP": one of the Supreme Court lawyer

Ranjeet Tripura, the man in the red t-shirt is a local who alleged that VHP men were giving open call to Hindus in the area "Jo Hindu nahi aaya, wo Hindu nahi hai".

"They set the homes, religious places on fire and also vandalised it," he added.

*The video was fully in Bengali*
Translation: The mob (VHP and Bajrang Dal people) entered inside a home of this Muslim family and snactched gold chain from the woman and her daughter's neck.

Team has told me that they will soon release its detailed report in Delhi which will be then sent to President, CJI, Union Home Secretary, NHRC.

The team was headed by Supreme Court advocate @ehteshamhashmi2 & Adv Amit Srivastava.

BIG: Supreme Court advocate @ehteshamhashmi2 told me on record that he and his team visited the Chamtila Mosque and found it was vandalised. They are shocked how is the police is denying the fact that it was not vandalized/destroyed.

This is the recent video that his team shot.
