The three witnesses in the case of sub-honorary lieutenant Md Sanaullah, a Kargil war veteran who was declared a “foreigner”, on Sunday filed cases against sub-inspector Chandramal Das of Assam border police alleging that they learnt about their involvement through media and WhatsApp. On the other hand, the inquiry officer of Sanaullah’s case claimed that he never met him and the person he questioned was somebody else. Family members of Sanaullah along with the witnesses blamed the Assam Police Border Organisation for allegedly conspiring against genuine Indian citizens in the name of detecting D (doubtful)-voters. Md Kuran Ali, of Koloikash village, said Das had never been informed about Sanaullah’s case. The verdict of the Boko foreigners tribunal on Mohammed Sanaullah was challenged by his family members in Gauhati High Court.
