On cam: BJP minister's son drunk, misbehaved with MPs at hotel, claims TMC, slams Tripura govt, police

The Bharatiya Janata Party in Tripura has come under attack from the Opposition over an incident allegedly involving a state minister's son.

Pratik Kishore Debbarman allegedly got drunk and misbehaved with Members of Parliament visiting Tripura. Pratik Debbarman is the son of Tripura's deputy chief minister Jishnu Dev Varma.

The incident reportedly occurred on May 11 at a hotel in Agartala. Videos purportedly showing Pratik Debbarman in an inebriated state circulated on social media.

The MPs, part of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Housing and Urban Affairs, left Tripura on May 13.

The Trinamool Congress accused the state administration of not taking any action against the BJP minister's son. TMC accused Tripura police of "watching the show" as BJP's "gunda raj" was on "full display".

A BJP leader was quoted by the Economic Times as saying that the issue would be taken up at the "appropriate level".
