Two Ukrainian nationals were detained by the railway police of Badarpur in Karimganj district, Assam. The Ukrainian nationals have been identified as 39-year-old Trishchynskyi Volodymyr and 21-year-old Nazari Vozniuk. The duo were travelling from Agartala in Tripura on a New Delhi-bound train without any valid documents like a passport or visa.
One of the detained Ukraine nationals was identified as Chrisinsky Volodimir, aged 39 years and a resident of Ukraine’s Zhytomyr city. The other Ukrainian was identified as Nazari Voznyuk. He is 21 years old and a resident of Berdychiv in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine.
A senior official at the Badarpur government railway police station said the duo were detained from Tripura Sundari Express (train number – 14619) at Badarpur railway station, about 30 km from Silchar, at about 7:30 pm on Thursday evening.
The senior official SP Boruah stated, “The detained Ukrainians have told us that their passports and visa were stolen. We are trying to verify this by communicating with the Ukraine embassy or in some other way,” SP Baruah said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway. The Superintendent of Police Padmanabh Baruah confirmed this.
