Tripura  Police in Amatali have arrested a man identified as Aditya Das, a local content creator and mobile shop owner, in connection with a rape allegation involving a young woman from Dhalai district.

According to police reports, the accused came into contact with the woman through Facebook, where their acquaintance gradually developed into regular communication. He allegedly persuaded her to meet him by promising an expensive iPhone as a gift.

The survivor stated that she arrived in Agartala by train on Saturday morning for personal work. After she reached Badharghat Railway Station, the accused allegedly met her on a motorcycle. He first claimed he would take her elsewhere but instead brought her to a three-storey hotel near the station.

In her complaint, the woman alleged that she was sexually assaulted inside the hotel. She further stated that when she resisted, she was physically assaulted. It is also alleged that the accused took away her mobile phone before leaving and later threatened her.

Following the complaint lodged at the West Agartala Women’s Police Station, a police team led by Inspector Shiuli Das conducted a raid at a mobile shop owned by the accused near Laxminarayan Bari. He was detained from the location and subsequently arrested late Saturday night.

Police said Aditya Das is a resident of the Kamalpur area and operates two mobile phone shops in Agartala. He is also active on social media as a content creator. Officials added that he is married and has children and was residing in the Gangail Road area.

The accused has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and produced before the court on Sunday afternoon. Further investigation is ongoing.
