The tragic death of Angel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, has left his family and the nation in shock. Angel died on Friday after being brutally attacked in Dehradun, allegedly by a group of people who hurled racial slurs at him and his brother. According to his father, Tarun Chakma, a BSF jawan, Angel and his brother Michael were targeted by six people on a motorcycle and scooter. The accused hurled abuses at the brothers, calling them 'Chinese', and then attacked Angel with knives and blunt objects, severely injuring his neck and back. The incident occurred on December 10, but police initially failed to register a report, only filing an FIR after pressure from the All India Chakma Students Union and senior officers. Three accused and two minors were later arrested and detained. Dehradun SSP Ajai Singh has a different account of the incident, stating that the physical confrontation broke out of confusion among the accused. However, the police have admitted that Angel was attacked with sharp objects and a 'kadaa' during the fight. Angel's father is demanding justice for his son and is calling for those responsible for his death to be punished. The incident has sparked outrage across the nation, with many condemning the racist attack and demanding action against those responsible. In a chilling account of the attack, Tarun Chakma said that his son's last words were 'We are Indians'. Angel's death has sent shockwaves across the country, highlighting the need for greater awareness and action against racial violence. As the nation mourns the loss of this young life, we must remember Angel's story and demand that those responsible for his death face justice. The incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater tolerance and understanding in our society.
