A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court concerning the death of Anjel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura. Chakma died on December 26, 2025, after allegedly being stabbed during a racially motivated attack in Dehradun on December 9. The petition claims systemic failure by the state to address racial violence against citizens from India's north-eastern states, arguing that such assaults are not adequately recognized as hate crimes within the justice system.
