The man identified as Jamal Uddin (54), son of M. Bhuiya, hails from Noakhali district in Bangladesh.

The officer in-charge of Patharkandi police station D. Thakuria said police, on the basis of a tip-off, carried out an operation in a secret place in Patharkandi, around 80km from Silchar, and apprehended Jamal, who was produced before a court in Karimganj on Tuesday and sent to judicial custody.

“During the interrogation, Jamal confessed that he is a resident of Bangladesh and said he has been staying in India for the past few years. His name is even present in the voter-list,” Thakuria said.

Thakuria said Jamal also confessed that he came to India through a border area in Malda district of West Bengal. Thereafter, he came to Patharkandi and started staying at Tillabari village. He later married a girl R. Begum of Dengarbond village and lived there for some time.

He was pushed back to Bangladesh after he was caught by police. He came to India again through a border area in Patharkandi after few years and started living at Dholcherra village. There he married another girl M. Begum and has been living like before, Thakuria said.
