Guwahati, Sept 4 (IBNS): A case has been registered and one more complaint has been lodged against National Register of Citizens (NRC) State Coordinator Prateek Hajela for 'deliberate exclusion of genuine Indian citizens' from the final NRC, which was published on August 31 that left out more than 19 lakh people.

According to the reports, a case was registered at Dibrugarh police station on Wednesday after a person named Chandar Mazumdar – a member of the All India Legal Aid Forum lodged an FIR against Hajela.

Dibrugarh district Superintendent of Police Subashini Sankaran said that, a case was registered at Dibrugarh Sadar police station against NRC State Coordinator Prateek Hajela and police has started investigation.

Chandar Mazumdar lodged an FIR at Dibrugarh Sadar police station against Hajela on Wednesday and said that his family was deliberately excluded from the NRC.

“I am a bonafide citizen and my parents settled in Dibrugarh in 1947,” Mazumdar stated in his FIR and enclosed his family’s 1951 NRC with the FIR.

On the other hand, an organisation Asom Garia-Maria Yuba Chhatra Parishad had lodged an FIR at  Latasil police station in Guwahati and alleged that many indigenous people were left out from the final NRC despite producing all valid documents.
