Angel Chakma's Death: PIL Seeks Judicial Intervention Against Racial Discrimination

A public interest litigation (PIL) has been lodged in the Supreme Court, urging immediate judicial action over what it terms an ongoing "constitutional breakdown" in tackling racially charged attacks on people from India's North-East. Filed under Article 32, the petition highlights the tragic death of Angel Chakma, a Tripura native who died on December 26 from severe injuries inflicted during a vicious beating in Dehradun's Selaqui neighborhood earlier that month.
