Agartala: A housewife was killed
and three school students were kidnapped by insurgents of the banned National
Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) in separate incidents in the state,
police said on Friday.
Police said that a group of heavily
armed NLFT insurgents raided a house at Kachucherra village of Dhalai district
last night and opened fire indiscriminately killing Gitarani Chakrabarty
(46) on the spot.
The ultras while fleeing from the
area kidnapped Dilip Chakrabarty (14) son of the victim and Pranab Das

Senior police officials, including
the superintendent of police, rushed to the spot and a combing operation
had been launched in the area to rescue the kidnapped persons and track
down the ultras, police said.
In a separate incident, another
group of insurgents of the same outfit raided Champaknagar village on Thursday
night and kidnapped Shankha Debbarma (12), a school student, from the area.
