Director-General of Police Amitabh Ranjan has claimed that the law and order situation in Tripura is better than portrayed, countering ongoing misinformation.

His remarks come in response to criticism following incidents of alleged custodial torture, a murder case in Agartala, and communal tensions in North Tripura. Ranjan emphasized that crime rates have fallen compared to the past decade.

Peaceful conduct during Lok Sabha and panchayat elections backs this improvement. Chief Minister Manik Saha has urged strict police action against any disruptions, while Ranjan acknowledged police errors but highlighted swift legal actions against culpable officers.
