Police register FIRs against Samba house owners failing to provide details of tenants. 12 FIRs have been registered in the district against house/land owners. The verification process was initiated by the Samba Police for the outsiders staying as tenants and domestic helpers. The process of verification of antecedents of tenants became necessary after reports of unauthorised tenants with dubious/suspicious background came to the knowledge of the police in Samba district. The presence of suspicious tenants is being to be a security threat that needs to be tackled, an official said. He added that Samba being a border district with the international border (IB) stretching from the beginning to the end of the district’s limits, the presence ofsuspicious tenants is to be dealt with by the police. The number of cases is expected to rise as more people come forward to provide the details of their tenants/domestic helpers to the police to get the Police verification done timely, he said.
