Watch: Tripura MLA Grabs Speaker’s Mace, Runs Away... Wait, What?

This is the third instance of its kind in the Tripura Assembly since 1972.

The Tripura Assembly on Monday witnessed a bizarre scene during the house proceedings when a legislator ran away with the Speaker's mace, stalling legislative business.

The incident occurred when Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) legislators approached the Speaker's podium and began shouting slogans against Forest and Rural Development Minister Naresh Jamatia, who has been accused of being involved in a sex scandal.

Amid the uproar, Trinamool Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman seized the Speaker's mace and ran away with it, bringing the Assembly proceedings to a halt.
