The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Tripura has demanded that a High Court judge oversee an investigation into the death of former Director General of Police Anurag Dhankar.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the northeastern state of Tripura has formally requested that a judge from the High Court supervise a probe into the death of former Director General of Police Anurag Dhankar.
The party’s demand comes after concerns were raised about the circumstances surrounding Dhankar’s death, which occurred while he was serving in the police force. CPI(M) leaders argue that an independent judicial oversight is necessary to ensure transparency and accountability.
The High Court has not yet responded to the request, and no official investigation has been announced. The matter remains under discussion among state officials and party representatives.
Observers note that the call for a judge‑supervised inquiry reflects growing scrutiny over police conduct and the handling of high‑profile deaths in Tripura.
The outcome of the CPI(M)’s demand could set a precedent for future investigations involving senior police officials in the state.
