The Trinamul Congress alleged that a 23-member team of its poll consultant Prashant Kishor had been put under house arrest at a hotel in Agartala by the police of the BJP-ruled Tripura since Monday early morning.
The police said they hadn’t detained the members of the I-Pac (Indian Political Action Committee) but got the team tested for Covid-19. “The team members had come from outside and were freely moving across Tripura. Once the test reports come in, they can move around,” a West Tripura police officer said.
