GUWAHATI: Morigaon Police despatched 3 individuals of a 'foreigner' family to a Tezpur detention camp on Tuesday. Ratindra Das, his wife Sumitra Das and their minor boy have been apprehended by police from Nellie area, some 73 km from right here, on Monday night time.
Morigaon superintendent of police Swapnaneel Deka stated the family used to be declared to be foreigner by a foreigners' tribunal earlier. "They were found to be illegal citizens and declared foreigners by a tribunal in 2012. Since then, they have been avoiding detention."
According to a prior state police file, Morigaon district has the highest numbers of 'declared foreigners' who're fugitives. Sources stated 4,855 individuals have been tagged as 'missing foreigners' right here. Earlier, Assam Police had sought public help to trace down 1000's of suspected foreigners. Police have been publishing lists of such fugitive foreigners in local newspapers every so often in quest of information about their whereabouts. Besides Morigaon, districts like Nagaon, Dibrugarh, Jorhat and Sivasagar also have very high numbers of missing foreigners.
Last week, parliamentary affairs minister Chandra Mohan Patowary stated the foreigners' tribunals have taken up at least 2,44,144 court cases of 'D' citizens (in doubt citizens) thus far, out of which 1,31,034 cases have been disposed of thus far.
