Synopsis According to the State government officials at least 383 houses belonging to the Brus were fully burnt. About 5,000 Brus were displaced. Of them about 2,000 Brus crossed over to neighbouring Tripura State and joined about 35,000 Bru IDPs who had earlier fled in 1997 following similar communal attacks.

The fact finding team set out to investigate and examine the facts surrounding the displacement of the Brus in 2009 and to make recommendations based on this research.
