Tripura orders probe into police coercion

Tripura Human Rights Commission ordered a probe into alleged police coercion in a marital dispute, citing potential human rights violations. The investigation follows a complaint that a police officer threatened a man with false rape charges to force him to stay with his wife, who allegedly concealed prior marriages and sterilization. The THRC seeks a report from the DGP by August 26, after the couple's dispute arose from revelations about the wife's past and a disputed pregnancy claim.
