Branded foreigners 17 years ago, Assam siblings among 3 to get citizenship back

A brother-sister pair from Assam, Bimal Das and Suma, along with their father Nilmani Das, have had their 'foreigner' status overturned by a foreigners' tribunal after a lengthy legal battle. Dipti Malakar, another woman from Assam, also received a clean chit from a foreigners' tribunal. Their cases were heard for years before an ex parte judgment was passed against them in 2011. They were never arrested.
