CW-2025-0010Sepahijala, TripuraJudgment 24 June 2025
Konaban Police Rifleman vs State of Tripura
The Tripura High Court dismissed the appeal of TSR Rifleman and affirmed his conviction under Section 302 IPC and sentence of rigorous imprisonment for life with a Rs 50,000 fine for shooting dead two colleagues at Konaban camp on 4 December 2021. The Court held the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he deliberately opened fire with his service weapon after being denied leave, rejecting the defence theory of an accidental discharge during a scuffle as an afterthought. It held that mere denial of leave could not constitute grave or sudden provocation for shooting superior officers. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
