Controversies
In November 2021, Tripura information and cultural affairs minister Sushanta Chowdhury claimed that two HW News Network journalists named Samriddhi Sakunia and Swarna Jha who visited the state to cover reported incidents of violence against minorities were agents of a political party and that they aimed to incite communal disturbances in the state.
The minister further alleged Sakunia and Jha were persuading people against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ministers in the state by disguising as salesmen and posting fake photos and footages.
