US Edition'I'm Indian': Tripura Student's Last Words Before He Was Killed in a Racial Attack; Protests Erupt Seeking Justice
Anjel Chakma died after a racially charged stabbing; five arrests made, but the main suspect remains free amid calls for an anti-racial violence law, says Chakma Development Foundation.
- On Friday, December 26, 2025, Anjel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Pecharthal, North Tripura, died in a Dehradun hospital after being stabbed on December 9 in the Selaqui area and remaining unconscious on a ventilator.
- Police say a verbal confrontation in Selaqui escalated into violence when a group of youths allegedly intoxicated hurled racial slurs calling Anjel Chakma and Michael Chakma `Chinese`, leading to a stabbing.
- Five local residents have been arrested, but Uttarakhand police registered the FIR only after three days, a delay CDFI says allowed the prime accused to flee.
- The Chakma Development Foundation of India urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to press Uttarakhand to invoke murder charges under Section 103, ensure immediate arrest, and provide ₹14 lakh compensation.
- The case echoes earlier incidents such as Nido Tania and revived calls from Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma and Pushkar Singh Dhami as CDFI said Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 196 is inadequate.
