"It Is A Case Of Racism," Says Anjel Chakma's Family, Rejects Police Claim

The killing of Tripura student Anjel Chakma in Dehradun has taken a new turn, with Uttarakhand Police denying that the attack was racially motivated. Police claim the incident arose from a clash between two groups of strangers and said alleged slurs were exchanged "in jest." However, the victim's family has rejected this explanation, with Anjel Chakma's uncle alleging that Chinese slurs and racist slogans were raised, directly accusing the attackers of committing a racial hate crime.
