DEHRADUN: The family of Anjel Chakma, the young Tripura native killed in Dehradun earlier this month, pushed back sharply against the city police chief's public dismissal of racial slurs as a motive behind the murder - a claim central to the family's version of events and backed, they say, by the firsthand account of Anjel's brother, Michael, who witnessed the attack.Momen Chakma, Anjel's uncle and among the first relatives to arrive in the city after the assault, said the police were choosing to ignore the words of the only eyewitness. He said, "The family stayed in Dehradun until Dec 27 but did not mention racial slurs to the police...If they want to share additional information, we are open to including it in the probe. "If the family of Tripura native Anjel Chakma is saying this (racial slurs motive behind the murder) now, we are not aware of it.However, the case is still under investigation," Dehradun SSP Ajai Singh said.
