The opposition Congress, however, accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of masterminding the incident to vitiate the atmosphere during the Lok Sabha elections.
"Days before the second phase of elections in the Tripura East Lok Sabha constituency on Thursday, the BJP has staged this incident as the murderer is a BJP activist," Congress Vice-President Tapas Dey told the media.
The BJP strongly denied the allegations.
