Tripura MBA Student Dies After Racial Attack In Dehradun, Political Storm Erupts

An MBA student from Tripura, Angel Chakma, has died weeks after a brutal racial attack in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The incident took place on December 9, when Angel and his brother were allegedly abused with racial slurs by intoxicated men outside a liquor shop. What began as verbal abuse quickly escalated into violence, leaving Angel critically injured. Student groups say the attack reflects a larger pattern of discrimination faced by students from the Northeast. The incident has triggered sharp political reactions, with opposition parties demanding accountability from the Uttarakhand government. As Angel’s family mourns, the nation is left asking — will justice prevail, or will this be another case forgotten with time?
