BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed, who was missing for the last two months, identified himself but couldn’t say how he arrived at Shillong district of Meghalaya, reports Indian The Northeast Today magazine on Tuesday.
When asked about his identity soon after coming out of MIMHANS mental hospital in Shillong, the patient identified himself as Salahuddin Ahmed, a BNP leader. However, when asked how he arrived there, he replied, “I do not know,” the magazine says.
Salahuddin was sent to Meghalaya Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences (MIMHANS) and shifted to Shillong Civil Hospital today, Superintendent of Police of East Khasi Hills S Kharkrang told our New Delhi correspondent over phone from Shillong.
“We were supposed to produce him in court but due to his ill health, the process is delayed,” TNT reports quoting Kharkrang.
Indian police arrested Salahuddin in Shillong on charge of entering the country without travel documents.
"Ahmed has been arrested under the Foreigners' Act for entering India without travel documents," Kharkrang told our New Delhi correspondent over phone from Shillong.
The joint secretary general of BNP was arrested from Golf Link locality of Shillong on Monday, he said.
