D voter commits suicide in Cachar

A local resident along the Indo-Bangla border is understood to have committed suicide after he was declared a doubtful voter. He was not given the form for voter photo identity card in Cachar district.

He was identified as Arjun Namasudra, a 32-year old resident of Indo-Bangla border village Haritikar part-I who hanged himself on Friday after a case was filed against him in the Foreigners' Tribunal alleging that he was a doubtful citizen.

Namasudra's wife, Basana claimed that he had got the notice twice from the Tribunal but could not appear as he was a poor daily wage worker and had no money to pay the lawyers.
