The move comes in the wake of an attack on the commission's premises by a right-wing group. Protesters reportedly burned the national flag of Bangladesh during demonstrations against alleged atrocities on minorities in the neighbouring country.
In response, Tripura Police have arrested seven individuals and taken disciplinary action, suspending three sub-inspectors and closing one Deputy Superintendent of Police.
