Agartala (Tripura) [India], November 22 (ANI): Trinamool Congress MP Sushmita Dev on Monday said that a false case has been lodged against the party's Youth Congress chief Saayoni Ghosh and alleged that the law and order situation is not a priority for the Tripura government.

"They vandalized the Police Station and attacked us twice yesterday. The DGP and IGP are not available on phone. Apparently, the DGP is in some conference with the Prime Minister, whereas his state is in chaos. Clearly, the law and order situation is not a priority for the government," said the TMC leader.
