A TSR trooper posted at the 10th Battalion headquarters in Khumulwng has been detained for allegedly poisoning his infant daughter to death. The incident occurred late on Friday when the accused, identified as Rathindra Debbarma, reportedly took the baby out of their home and fed her a poisoned liquid. The child soon began vomiting and was rushed to hospital, later being shifted to GB Pant Hospital in Agartala, where she died.
The child’s mother alleged that her husband never wanted a girl and had subjected her to prolonged mental and physical abuse since the baby’s birth. She said her sister witnessed the act of poisoning and informed her immediately, but by the time she reached Agartala, the child had already passed away.
Following the revelation, enraged locals at GB Pant Hospital caught hold of the accused before police intervened to prevent an attack. Officers from Champahour police station took him into custody for questioning.
Police sources said interrogation is underway, and a formal case will be registered once the initial investigation is complete, after which the accused will be arrested. The shocking case has sparked widespread outrage over the alleged act of female infanticide.
