India's law enforcement agencies have arrested seven individuals suspected of involvement in the recent attack on Bangladesh's Assistant High Commission in North Agartala, Tripura.
In response to allegations of negligence, three police officers from Tripura have also been dismissed from service.
The incident took place amidst heightened tensions in the region, with cross-border issues and domestic political developments in both India and Bangladesh often influencing public sentiment.
The Assistant High Commission in Agartala, a key diplomatic mission serving the northeastern Indian state, has frequently acted as a critical link in fostering cooperation between the two nations.
According to a report published by NDTV on Tuesday (3 December), Indian authorities moved swiftly to apprehend suspects and initiate disciplinary measures against those deemed responsible for lapses in security.
Local law enforcement has stated that investigations are ongoing to determine the motives behind the attack and whether additional individuals were involved.
The attack comes at a time when relations between Bangladesh and India remain under scrutiny, with Tripura serving as a vital gateway for trade and cultural exchange between the neighbouring nations.
Both countries have reiterated their commitment to strengthening ties, but incidents such as this pose challenges to maintaining diplomatic harmony.
Authorities on both sides are expected to engage in discussions to address security concerns and ensure the safety of diplomatic missions operating in sensitive areas.
