Guwahati, Assam: The Guwahati Police of Assam arrested four Afghan nationals who are identified as Aman Khan, Rizwan Khan, Yusuf Zahid and Asif Rana, for residing in India without valid documents.
Acting on a tip-off based on intelligence input, the police officers raided their rented house near Little Flower School in Hatigaon of Guwahati, uncovering several suspicious documents from their possession.
According to a senior Assam Police official, the group of Afgan nationals has lived in Assam since 2015 without proper authorization.
Investigators are now probing evidence that the Afghans possibly ran an illegal money-lending operation in Guwahati.
Police registered the case at Hatigaon Police Station (Case No.112/25) and are working to trace the group’s entry into India and uncover the extent of their activities during their undocumented stay in Assam.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister of Assam Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma has reiterated a strict stance against illegal immigration, instructing security forces to remain vigilant along the international border.
