The Youth Tipra Federation (YTF) has lodged a complaint with the West Agartala Police Station against popular YouTuber "UK07 Rider" Anurag Dobhal for allegedly violating regulations prohibiting the recording of videos and taking pictures inside the Ujjayanta Palace Museum in Agartala. The complaint was filed on Saturday under the protocols governing Ancient Monuments and Historical Places as adopted by the Tripura Government.
The Youth Tipra Federation, the youth wing of the Tipra M***a Party, took action following a call from the party’s founder, Bubagra Pradyot Kishore Manikya, who demanded an FIR to investigate the circumstances under which Anurag Dobhal was allowed to film inside the museum. He also sought clarification on whether official permission was granted and, if so, who authorized it.
According to the complaint, videos uploaded on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube over the past few days have raised serious concerns among the people of Tripura. The footage, reportedly recorded within the Ujjayanta Palace Museum, has sparked widespread surprise and criticism.
“Regardless of whether permission was granted, our understanding is that recording videos and taking pictures inside the Ujjayanta Palace Museum—managed by the Higher Education Department, Government of Tripura—is strictly prohibited. The museum is a protected site under the regulations framed by the Tripura Government concerning Ancient Historical Monuments. Ujjayanta Palace stands as a proud landmark of Northeast India,” the YTF stated in its complaint.
The organization has urged authorities to take strict legal action against the YouTuber and any officials responsible for allowing the violation. They emphasized the need for immediate corrective measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
This development has sparked discussions on the enforcement of rules at heritage sites, with many citizens demanding stricter monitoring and action against those who disregard regulations meant to protect historical monuments.
