Agartala, Feb 23 (UNI) A Tripura police team arrested a youth from a hotel in Mysore, who hails from Asharambari area of Khowai district in West Tripura, in a predawn operation early this morning.
The state had slapped him with charges of sedition and anti-national activities. Police have been searching for him for his pro-Pakistan comment in social media, after the killing of 44 CRPF jawans in Pulwama on Feb 14.
The Superintendent of Police of Khowai Krishnendu Chakraborty said that a two-member team of Tripura police picked up Pramesh Debbarma, with the help of Karnataka police from a hotel in Mysore where he has been working as a waiter.
Tripura police detected him as Pak sympathiser from his post in social media. The post allegedly appreciated the action orchestrated by a Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber on the CRPF convoy and lamented that no such terror attacks were being made in the Northeast India.
Tripura police immediately registered a case on the night of Pulwama attack and located him in Mysore. They communicated with the Karnataka police, seeking their help in locating the person. Soon, the Karnataka police traced his whereabouts and brought him under their scanner.
He has been produced in a local court in Mysore seeking transit remand.
