GUWAHATI: The Gauhati High Court has issued a notice in a case [WP(civil) 2917/2025] against, as it says, the arbitrary arrest of declared foreigners who are apprehending arbitrary and illegal pushback.
Since May 25, 2025, when they were arrested, the authorities have refused to give details of the whereabouts of Abu Bakkar Siddik and Akbar Ali, both brothers, the court said.
During the hearing, the state counsel admitted that Abu Bakkar Siddik and Akbar Ali have indeed been detained and are now in the custody of Assam Border Police.
The court has asked the state government to provide the status of two detainees – Abu Bakkar Siddik and Akbar Ali – and where they have been lodged currently, on June 4 when the case will be heard.
Sr. Advocate HRA Choudhury, Aman Wadud, Dipesh Agarwal, Aniket Mishra, Abdul Motin and Aminur Rahman represented the two detainees.
