The police of Shillong, capital of the Indian State of Meghalaya, have submitted charge-sheet to a court against Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) joint secretary general Salahuddin Ahmed accusing him of trespassing into Indian territory, according to police.

Investigating officer of the case M Lamhaare on Wednesday submitted the chargesheet to the court of chief judicial magistrate KLM Nongbri, according to Shillong superintendent of police Vivek Syiem.

The BNP leader, who was found in the Indian city after going missing for over two months, faced intrusion charge under the Foreigners’ Act of India as he failed to produce any valid document for his stay in the country, and now he is in judicial custody.

He will be produced before the court again on 10 June after the expiration of his term in judicial custody as ordered by the court on 27 May.

Salahuddin was held by Shillong police on 12 May after he had reappeared in a mental hospital there on 11 May.

Earlier BNP and Salahuddin’s family members had been claiming that law enforcers picked him up from a house at Uttara on the night of 10 March, an allegation denied by the law enforcers and the government.
