Twisted Love Triangle Turns Deadly in Tripura: Youth Strangled, Stuffed in Trolley Bag, and Hidden in Ice Cream Freezer

The deceased has been identified as 28-year-old electrician, Sariful Islam

A twisted love triangle ended in a brutal murder in Tripura, where a 28-year-old electrician, Sariful Islam, was strangled to death, stuffed inside a trolley bag, and hidden in an ice cream freezer in Gandacherra market in Dhalai district, about 120 km from the capital.

Speaking to the media, Dr. Kiran Kumar K, SP (West Tripura), said, “Initial investigations point to a love affair between the victim and the woman, who is also a cousin of Dibakar. Love triangle appear to be the motive behind the murder.”

As per inputs, the murder allegedly masterminded by Dibakar Saha (28), a doctor, was reportedly the fallout of a romantic rivalry over a woman who was both Sariful’s lover and Dibakar’s cousin. Police have arrested 6 including the woman in connection with the crime.

According to the police, Dibakar called Sariful to the house of one Joydeep Das (20) at South Indranagar Kabarkhala area on June 8 late evening under the pretext of giving him a gift.

Upon arrival, Sariful was ambushed by Dibakar, along with accomplices Animesh Yadav (21) and Nabanita Das (25). He was strangled to death, and his body was packed into a trolley bag purchased two days earlier.

The next morning, Dibakar’s parents—Dipak Saha (52) and Debika Saha (48) arrived in Agartala from Gandacherra and transported the trolley bag containing the body back with them. The corpse was subsequently hidden inside an ice cream freezer at their shop in Gandacherra market.

The breakthrough came today after days of intensive investigation by the police, who arrested all six accused on Tuesday night and recovered the body on Wednesday afternoon.

All 6 arrested will be produced before the court tomorrow.

Police have recovered digital evidence, including mobile messages that confirm the motive was linked to a romantic entanglement involving all 3 key individuals.
