A video of the incident had gone viral in social media.
"The Government of Tripura has constituted a high-level Enquiry Committee to enquire into incidents which happened on the night of 26th April 2021 during marriage ceremonies being held in violation of Corona Night Curfew at Manikya Court & Golap Bagan, Agartala. In the interest of an impartial enquiry, I request for relinquishment of my charge as DM & Collector West Tripura District", Yadav's letter accessed by a news source.
The State Law minister Ratan Lal Nath told the media that Yadav has been released from his position and his letter has been accepted by the Chief Secretary.
The Director of Industries and Commerce, Ravel Hamendra Kumar took over as the District Magistrate of West Tripura.
Yadav was seen in a video footage tearing the document of the permission taken from him for holding the ceremony. He was also seen forcing the invitees and others present at the venue to leave and ordering policemen who were with him to drive them out of the venue.
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb had ordered setting up of the enquiry committee comprising two senior IAS officers.
It will submit a report to the Chief Secretary soon.
Yadav told reporters here that whatever he had done was to maintain law and order.
"It is my duty to enforce law and order and to prevent the spread of COVID-19. I stand by whatever I did that night," he said.
