WATCH: TMC MLA Sudip Roy snatches Speaker's mace in Tripura Assembly

Agartala: Ex-leader of the opposition and Trinamool Congress MLA on Monday snatched speaker Ramendra Chandra Debnath's ceremonial mace from his table and ran off with it before being restrained by the marshal of the state assembly. Sudip Roy Barman was protesting against the speaker's refusal to allow a debate on a sex scandal in which forest and rural development minister Naresh Jamatia is involved. Interestingly, is was not the first time but fifth time in the history of the Tripura assembly that the speaker had lost his symbols of authority.
After opposition parties, Congress and TMC, sought Jamatia's expulsion from the cabinet for his alleged involvement in a sex scandal in his constituency, Monday's session began heating up.
It may be recalled that Jamatia and Mrinmay Sen, councillor of the Agartala Municipal Council, have been accused of molesting a seven-year-old girl. Sen was arrested by Tripura police but was later released on bail.
After the question hour, Congress and TMC legislators trooped into the well of the house raising slogans against Jamatia and CM Manik Sarkar.
In the middle of sloganeering, Roy Barman lifted the speaker's mace and ran towards the exit door, forcing the speaker to adjourn the house.
However, later, marshal of the assembly Arun Chandra Das recovered the mace from Roy Barman and reinstated it on its place.
