New Delhi – December 30, 2025 – The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has launched an investigation into the death of Anjel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, who died in Dehradun on December 26th following an alleged racially motivated assault.
The NHRC issued notices to the District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police of Dehradun, demanding an action-taken report within seven days. The commission is particularly concerned about allegations that Chakma was subjected to racial slurs before being attacked on December 9th after he told the attackers that he was also Indian.
Chakma’s father, a BSF jawan, alleges his son was attacked when he defended his brother from the attackers.
“This incident has caused nationwide outrage,” the NHRC stated, highlighting concerns about “deep-rooted racial discrimination” against people from North-Eastern states. The Commission added that the incident has exposed failures of local authorities to prevent violence and provide adequate protection.
The NHRC has directed Uttarakhand authorities to ensure the safety of all students from the North-Eastern region residing in the state.
The death has sparked protests, including a candlelight march held at Gandhi Park on Monday. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has spoken with Chakma’s father, promising strict punishment for those responsible. Leaders from across the political spectrum have condemned the incident and are calling for comprehensive efforts to combat hate crimes against people from the North-East.
The NHRC’s investigation is underway, and the commission has requested a copy of the case proceedings from the Uttarakhand Chief Secretary and Director General of Police.
