Dehradun Attack: Tripura Student's Death Not Racial, Police Say 'Remarks in Jest'

• Tripura MBA student Anjel Chakma died after a violent attack in Dehradun on Dec 9; his brother Michel was also injured.
• SSP Ajay Singh stated the attack was not racially motivated, attributing it to a misunderstanding over "remarks made in jest."
• Police claim the Chakma brothers mistook internal jokes among a group of men as racial slurs directed at them, leading to a clash.
• Five individuals, including Suraj Khwas from Manipur, have been arrested; one accused is absconding in Nepal.
• Anjel was stabbed in the neck and abdomen, succumbing to injuries on December 26 after 17 days of treatment.

Why It Matters: Police deny racial motive in Tripura student's death, citing 'jest' remarks and misunderstanding.
