<p data-start="0" data-end="305"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A 24-year-old student from Tripura, Angel Chakma, succumbed to injuries weeks after being allegedly attacked in a violent altercation in Dehradun that his family claims was fuelled by racial abuse. Angel, an MBA student at a private university, died on Friday after battling critical injuries for 17 days.</span></p>
<p data-start="307" data-end="705"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to his father, Tarun Chakma, a Border Security Force personnel currently posted in Manipur, the incident occurred when Angel intervened to protect his younger brother Michael, who was allegedly being harassed and subjected to racial slurs in a market area. Tarun said his sons were abused with remarks such as being called &ldquo;Chinese,&rdquo; despite Angel repeatedly asserting that he was Indian.</span></p>
<p data-start="707" data-end="1140"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The father alleged that the situation escalated when a group of six individuals arrived on a motorcycle and a scooter, pushed Michael to the ground, and then turned on Angel when he stepped in to defend his brother. He claimed Angel was brutally attacked with knives and blunt objects, sustaining severe injuries to his neck and back. Tarun stated that his son&rsquo;s neck was broken during the assault, which ultimately led to his death.</span></p>
<p data-start="1142" data-end="1482"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tarun Chakma further alleged that the local police initially did not register a case and acted only after pressure mounted from student organisations and senior officials. He said his son had recently secured a job and was looking forward to his future, adding that the family is seeking justice and strict punishment for those responsible.</span></p>
<p data-start="1484" data-end="1824"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Police officials, however, offered a different account, stating that the confrontation may have begun due to a misunderstanding during a conversation among the accused, which Angel may have perceived as directed at him. During the scuffle, Angel was attacked with sharp objects and a metal bracelet, after which he was rushed to a hospital.</span></p>
<p data-start="1826" data-end="2025" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A complaint was filed on December 10, and a case was subsequently registered. Police arrested three accused and detained two minors on December 14. Further investigation into the incident is ongoing.</span></p>
