SSB Accused of Attempting to Frame Poor Family in Elephant Poaching Case in Tamulpur

Tamulpur, September 3: Tension erupted in Tamulpur along the India-Bhutan border after the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) was accused of attempting to frame a poor family in an alleged elephant poaching case.

According to allegations, personnel of the 24th Battalion SSB entered the residence of a villager Sukumar Biswas Sarma and allegedly planted an elephant tusk inside the house in an attempt to implicate him in a wildlife crime case.

Sukumar was subsequently detained and handed over to the Tamulpur Forest Department on Wednesday evening around 10 pm. The allegations have triggered strong resentment among local residents and several organisations.

Leaders of the Bengali Youth Students Federation, along with representatives of other organisations, reached the Tamulpur Forest Range Office today and staged a protest, demanding a fair and impartial investigation into the incident.

When approached for his response, 24 BN SSB Deputy Commandant Bikash Kumar Gupta reportedly declined to comment on the allegations.

Meanwhile, Tamulpur Forest Range Officer Babul Brahma said the matter would be thoroughly investigated and that further action would be taken based on the findings.

The incident has sparked concerns over alleged harassment of poor villagers in the border areas in the name of preventing wildlife crimes. Protesters have demanded that the circumstances surrounding the alleged recovery of the elephant tusk and the detention of Sukumar Biswas Sarma be investigated transparently.

The allegations against the SSB personnel have not been independently verified. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
