Overview

• Immigration officers barred Bhanu Tatak from boarding a flight to Dublin after Arunachal Pradesh Police headquarters issued a lookout circular.
• She was traveling to start a three-month academic program at Dublin City University on September 9.
• Inspector General Chukhu Apa confirmed the circular and said 10–12 cases name her for allegedly instigating violence and leading protests.
• Itanagar superintendent Jummar Basar denied any city police complaint tied to the Siang dam movement.
• Reporting cites two pending Itanagar cases against her—a 2021 trespass/mischief FIR at BB Plaza Mall and a 2022 mural defacement case in which she is charge-sheeted—as the Youth Congress alleges she received no prior notice and calls the action an attempt to silence dissent.
