His manager has made a complaint. We are registering the complaint and will investigate the matter,” Kiran Kumar K, Superintendent of Police of West Tripura, told PTI.

“We thought Mayank would take 2 to 3 days to recover. He got released within 24 hours. Whatever happened is past. I don’t want to talk about it now. The care in Tripura was wonderful, ”
