A Tripura student, Anjel Chakma, died in Dehradun after being attacked on December 9 following racial slurs. The Congress party stated the incident has damaged Uttarakhand's image, with a leader apologizing to the victim's family and demanding strict punishment for the perpetrators. Police have arrested five of the six accused, while one remains at large. The party expressed concern that such violence could deter students from other regions studying in the state.
