The All India Chakma Students’ Union (AICSU) has urged Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to shift the “racially motivated” Anjel Chakma murder trial out of the State.
A 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, Chakma was stabbed by a group of allegedly inebriated boys in Dehradun on December 9. He died at a hospital in the Uttarakhand capital on December 26.

AICSU president Drishyamuni Chakma said on Monday (December 29, 2025) that the union wrote to the Chief Minister demanding the transfer of the case, preferably to Delhi, as the family of the deceased “has lost faith in the Uttarakhand police”. He also suggested that the case be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The lapses include a three-day delay in registering the First Information Report (FIR), the refusal by the Selakui police station personnel to register the complaint on multiple occasions, the failure of the police to invoke appropriate Sections of the law at the initial stage, and attempts by senior police officials to dilute the crime by portraying it as a fight while ignoring elements of racial abuse.
