 An election official said on Monday night that Partha Pratim Debroy, a government teacher, Rasu Chowdhury, an Education Department staff and a Tripura State Rifles (TSR) jawan Kishan Debbarma were suspended by their authorities for participating in election campaigns and political events.

The Education Department and the TSR seventh battalion commandant separately took the action following the direction of the Election Commission.
