The brother of the 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura murdered in Dehradun has detailed how they were called “chinki” by the men who assaulted them. Angel Chakma, 24, a resident of Nandannagar in West Tripura district, succumbed to his injuries on 26 December after spending 17 days in a Dehradun hospital. The younger brother said the group began abusing him and then attacked when he asked them why they were abusing him. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said, "What happened to Angel Chakma and his brother Michael in Dehradun is a horrific hate crime. According to him, an FIR was filed only two to three days later after intervention by the All India Chakma Students Union and senior officers.
