Sudip Datta Bhaumik (Facebook)
A journalist named Sudip Datta Bhaumik was shot dead in Communist Party of India (Marxist)-ruled Tripura on Tuesday, reportedly by a jawan of the 2nd Tripura State Rifles, the Indian Express has reported. Bhaumik was working as a senior journalist with Syandan Patrika, a leading Bengali newspaper of Agartala.
“He (Bhaumik) was shot by one Rifleman Nanda Reang inside the 2nd Bn Tripura State Rifles headquarters following some arguments. While a forensic team has visited the spot, post-mortem examination of the deceased has been conducted on camera,” the daily quoted the Superintendent of Police of the state’s West district as saying.
Bahumik’s killing comes just two months after another journalist, identified as Shantanu Bhowmik, was abducted and killed while he was covering clashes between the tribal wing of the ruling CPI-M and the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura. Left Front government of Manik Sarkar continues to ignore the demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation probe in the case.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
