18-year-old brother arrested for killing sister in Tripura

Agartala, May 24 (UNI) Three days after the recovery of the dead body of a 9-year-old girl who was allegedly murdered in a mysterious circumstance, police on Saturday arrested the brother and detained the mother of the victim at Manubazar under South Tripura district.
The body of the 9-year-old Ujjashikha Tripura, daughter of Rahim Tripura, was recovered on Wednesday. Police arrested Ujjashikha’s elder brother, 18-year-old Sahel Tripura, in connection with the case, while the deceased’s mother, Sabita Tripura, has been detained.
Police said, based on the primary evidence, Sahel was arrested, who had already admitted to having committed the crime. Police officials were currently interrogating the mother, Sabita, at the Manubazar police station.
Ujjashikha, a resident of Kalavepa Nalsing Sardar Para under Manubazar police jurisdiction in Sabrum subdivision, disappeared mysteriously on May 21 afternoon. Despite extensive searching efforts, no clues were found until the following day, May 22, when her body was discovered in a nearby rubber garden adjacent to her home.
The incident has sent shock waves throughout the local community, with widespread grief and anger. The grieving parents have alleged that their daughter was murdered. Upon receiving the distressing news, the police immediately arrived at the scene, recovered the body, and took it to the hospital for an autopsy.
Following a night of intensive interrogation, police took Sahel Tripura into custody as a key suspect on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, the deceased’s mother, Sabita Tripura, is also undergoing questioning to assist the investigation. However, the reason for the murder is yet to be ascertained.
