Deb decries social media post claiming wife filed divorce suit

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has described as "deep rooted conspiracy" to tarnish his image a social media post claiming that his wife had filed a divorce suit in a Delhi court.

Tripura Police on Friday registered a case against one person for allegedly writing the post which has gone viral.

"This is a deep rooted conspiracy to tarnish my image. It is a baseless and motivated post which is in bad taste," a press statement issued late Friday night quoted Deb as saying.

The chief minister's wife Niti Deb on Friday denied that she had filed any divorce suit and said "Rumours have no mouth, only dirty, filthy and sick minds...."
