Agartala: The opposition Congress in Tripura on Thursday demanded an inquiry into a Facebook post that purportedly showed Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb’s teenaged son holding a Light Machine Gun (LMG).
Senior Congress leader Subal Bhowmik said the police did not take any step as the person concerned is the son of the chief minister.
During Durga Puja, the chief minister’s son was seen roaming around with a gun. A photograph showing him holding a gun has also gone viral. This could be dangerous for the people. We demand an inquiry to find out how he got the gun and whether it was licensed,” Bhowmik told reporters.
However, BJP state spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharjee said Congress leaders have started personal attacks after losing their identity in the state. (PTI)
