Anjel Chakma's Brutal Murder Sparks National Outrage Over Racial Violence
The savage murder of 21-year-old Anjel Chakma, an MBA student from Tripura, in Dehradun has unleashed a wave of grief, rage and nationwide protests demanding an end to racial violence against people from Northeast India. Anjel died on December 26, 2025, after 17 days in coma following a vicious attack on December 9 in which he was stabbed in the neck and abdomen, suffered severe spinal damage, brain haemorrhage and multiple lacerations.
Anjel’s father, Tarun Prasad Chakma — a serving BSF jawan posted in Manipur — gave a heartbreaking interview to NDTV, pleading for change: “No one should lose their child the way I did. I would like to tell the country that no child who has gone outside to study should face this. I want the entire government of Uttarakhand and the entire government of India to stop this. I want that no child from the Northeast should be treated like this in Bangalore, Dehradun, Delhi.”
According to police and family accounts, Anjel and his brother Michael were taunted with racial slurs — including “Chinese momo” and “Chinki” — during an argument. When they objected, the confrontation turned deadly. The family has demanded a CBI probe, alleging initial police reluctance to register an FIR (filed only after pressure from student unions and senior officers).
