A crowd at a public event in Tripura turned hostile, hurling eggs at former chief minister Manik Sarkar. Witnesses said the protestors repeatedly chanted “Go Back” and invoked the controversial Rose Valley scheme while the eggs landed around the former leader.
Security personnel quickly intervened, forming a barrier around Sarkar and escorting him to a safe area. No injuries were reported, and the egg‑throwing was limited to a brief episode before order was restored.
