Rights panel asks Tripura DGP to assist man stranded in Malaysia
Agartala: The Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) has instructed the DGP to provide a comprehensive investigation report by June 16 regarding a Tripura citizen currently stranded in Malaysia with an expired tourist visa.
The DGP has been tasked by the commission to take appropriate measures to assist the victim, Binoy Das, following a thorough investigation. The THRC's directive came after receiving a formal complaint from Satya Prakash Mishra, a Jharkhand resident, who submitted the petition for Binoy Das from Agartala, West Tripura.
The case is classified under 'exploitation of Indian labourers in foreign countries'. The petitioner states that Das was enticed to Malaysia by an organisation allegedly connected to ISKM, Pondicherry, with assurances of enhanced employment prospects and increased earnings.
His tourist visa lapsed approximately a year ago, and despite assurances of legalising his stay to enable him to work and support his unwell father financially, the promises remained unfulfilled.
The commission's statement reveals that the petitioner's brother, Satyam Chaudhury, encountered similar difficulties with the same organisation. However, he returned to India in Nov 2023 through the assistance of the Indian High Commission in Malaysia.

Although Das was present during the repatriation proceedings, he stayed back based on assurances of status regularisation. "Das has been in constant touch with the complainant since then, expressing growing anxiety and a sense of helplessness," the order noted.
He has not received his promised compensation and lives under the constant threat of arrest as an unauthorised immigrant. The petitioner has provided evidence relating to Das's situation, indicating a systematic pattern of exploitation by certain India-based organisations that deceive vulnerable people with false opportunities abroad before abandoning them.
THRC has sent the complaint and supporting documents to the DGP, requesting verification of the case's legitimacy, stating, "Let the DGP conduct an inquiry and submit a report by the next date. If the claims are substantiated, appropriate action may be initiated for the victim's repatriation. The case is scheduled to be taken up after three weeks."
