It may be mentioned that following the apprehension of Anurag Chaliha for his suspected involvement in the suicide case of BJP Kisan Morcha Secretary Indrani Tahbildar, Trishna lodged a case against him alleging that he duped her on the pretext of providing jobs and for the completion of other official works. He also took Rs. 40 lakh from her, she alleged.

Indrani Tahbildar allegedly committed suicide when her intimate photos with Anurag Chaliha went viral. It was also suspected that the said BJP Kisan Morcha leader was in an extra-marital affair with Chaliha who was staying at her residence as a tenant.
