If one goes by the media reports in Tripura, which again feeds the media outside the state, it is a foregone conclusion that the young TV journalist Santanu Bhowmik was killed by the Indigenous Peoples’ Front of Tripura (IPFT) activists while he was covering the skirmish between them and an organization called the Tripura Rajaer Upajati Ganamukti Parishad (TRUGP) on Wednesday evening (20 September, 2017) for the TV channel Din Raat.
