According to AMMSU President, Nur Islam Sk, one Mostafa Ahmed, son of Kabiruddin Munshi recently applied for EPIC at Mahendraganj of South West Garo Hills to become a bonafide citizen in the state. However, Islam claimed that there was no record of Ahmed in the NRC and whatever document he submitted to get the EPIC were faked.
