TIPRA Motha Demands Probe into Alleged Manipulated Video Ahead of Tripura VC Elections

Tripura is gearing up for its Vidhan Sabha elections, and the TIPRA Motha Party, a major regional contender, has raised concerns over a video that it claims was deliberately altered to sway voter sentiment. The party alleges that the clip, which surfaced on social media last week, misrepresents its leaders and policies, thereby violating the code of conduct for election campaigning.
In a written petition to the Tripura State Election Commission, TIPRA Motha demanded a forensic examination of the footage and urged authorities to take punitive action if manipulation is confirmed. The party warned that such misinformation could distort the democratic process and affect the free choice of the electorate.
The Election Commission has not yet issued a formal response, but officials have indicated that any credible allegation of electoral malpractice will be investigated promptly. Observers note that the controversy adds to an already charged pre‑poll atmosphere, with parties intensifying their outreach ahead of the scheduled voting date.
