On June 11, as many as 38 Sri Lankan nationals were detained under Mangaluru south police station limits over illegal stay in the country. They had entered Tamil Nadu illegally from Sri Lanka and reached Mangaluru in May, and had stayed at two lodges and two houses, claiming themselves to be daily wage and coolie workers and fisherman from Tamil Nadu. They had left from Sri Lanka on March 17 by paying 6 to 10 lac Sri Lankan rupees to an agent in Sri Lanka, who had promised them jobs in Canada.

A case was later filed under relevant IPC sections for human trafficking, cheating, under Passport Act 1967, Foreigners Act 1945 and Foreigners Order 1948.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, the police commissioner said that the case has been handed over to the NIA as per the orders of the union home ministry.

"We have formed a team to assist DSP-rank NIA officer, and as per the order, the local police will help in providing all the logistics and other support needed for investigation. The file has already been handed over to the DSP-rank officer of the NIA," the police commissioner said.

    good move by Police... this is will be better handled by a Central agency... Mangaluru cannot be used as a conduit for suspect illegal activities...

    These poor Srilankans were duped by the agent. Please keep some sympathy on them. If you can get hold of the crooked agent, then punish him.

    If the agent in Srilanka had no contacts in India this was impossible. There is somebody in India who has facilitated this. It is sad to note that our police are not able to catch him.....!!!!!??? May be money power. Police are for making money for themselves/and also for their masters (Politicians/so called public servants) primarily and then so called public security.
