Assam Border Police cracks down on residents battling citizenship rights without due process, pushes 145 locals over the border?
Between the night of Friday, May 23, and Monday, May 26, Assam police launched a sweeping crackdown across all 33 districts—including Barak Valley, Central, Lower, and North Assam—detaining nearly 300 men and women without notice or legal justification. Families and advocates were given no information about their whereabouts, in clear violation of constitutional and legal norms. While about 150 were reportedly released within days, unconfirmed reports to CJP’s ground team suggest that 145 individuals—still fighting for their citizenship rights—were forcibly pushed across the border, left stranded and vulnerable in the no man’s land between the two countries
