Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha announced that legal procedures are underway to transfer Amir Shokeen, who was arrested in Delhi, back to Tripura.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha confirmed that authorities are actively working to bring Amir Shokeen back to the state after his recent arrest in Delhi. Shokeen, whose identity and alleged offences were not disclosed, was taken into custody by Delhi police earlier this week.
Saha said the state government has coordinated with the Delhi police and the judiciary to secure his surrender to Tripura law‑enforcement agencies. He emphasized that the process follows established legal protocols and will be completed as swiftly as possible.
The chief minister added that once Shokeen is transferred, the local investigation will resume in Tripura to determine any further action required under state law. No additional details on the case have been released pending formal proceedings.
