The National Investigation Agency has taken over the probe into the alleged illegal immigration and human trafficking of 38 Sri Lankan nationals. The Mangaluru City police, in association with the Tamil Nadu police, last month arrested 38 Sri Lankan nationals when they attempted to sail to Canada from Mangaluru. The police said that they were among the group of nationals who had landed at Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu by boats on March 17. As vigilance was intensified in wake of Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, some in the group came by road to Bengaluru and further came down to Mangaluru.More Related News
