Agartala Baptist Church is a Baptist Church in the city of Agartala, the capital of Tripura state in India. It is affiliated to the Tripura Baptist Christian Union (TBCU) and is located in Arundhutinagar in the southern part of Agartala city. History and ControversyIt is the oldest church in Agartala and was established in the 1930s. Religion has long been a source of tension in Tripura, with the state government accusing the TBCU of links with the National Liberation Front of Tripura,[1] which would be proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the 2002 Prevention of Terrorism Act. Guards had to be posted outside the headquarters of the Baptist Church in Agartala for fear of reprisals after the secretary of the Noapara Baptist Church was arrested in possession of explosives.[1] Such fears were justified; the church in the nearby district of Krishnanagar was attacked by a mob in February the following year.[2] LocationIt is located inside the Baptist Mission Compound in Arundhutinagar.
