Brutal Attack in Selakui Shocks Dehradun

The tragic incident occurred on December 9, 2025, in Selakui on the outskirts of Dehradun. According to police reports, Angel Chakma, a student from Tripura, and his brother Michael were allegedly racially abused and verbally harassed by a group of youths outside a liquor shop.

Eyewitness accounts reveal that Angel tried to defuse the situation calmly. However, the confrontation soon escalated, leading to a violent group assault. Angel suffered critical injuries, while his brother Michael was also hurt during the attack.

Michael rushed Angel to a local hospital, where he battled for life for nearly 14 days before succumbing to his injuries, turning the assault into a full-fledged murder case.
