The NGO whose July 2009 petition in the Supreme Court led to the exercise of updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam has filed a police complaint against former NRC State Coordinator Prateek Hajela. In its first information report with the Additional Director-General of Police of the Criminal Investigation Department on June 21, the Assam Public Works (APW) said Mr. Hajela manipulated the family tree verification during the NRC updating exercise. He did this in collaboration with some officers of migrant background, data entry operators, a few minority leaders, and some ‘anti-national elements’, APW’s Aabhijeet Sharma said in the FIR.More Related News
