Foreign national held for assaulting staff at FRRO facility

A foreign national named Kelvin James has been arrested for allegedly assaulting staff members at a Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) facility in Sondekoppa village, near Bengaluru. Kelvin is currently detained at the Foreigners Detention/Restriction Centre (FRC) and is facing multiple charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and assault.

According to reports, on Tuesday, Kelvin entered a staff office and assaulted a sleeping staff member. The following day, he allegedly assaulted another staff member, leading the facility manager to file a complaint. Kelvin's wife and daughter are also being detained at a restriction center in a different location. Police sources suggest that Kelvin's prolonged detention at the FRC may have been a contributing factor to his aggressive behavior.

This incident is not Kelvin's first alleged assault on FRRO staff. On April 29, he reportedly threatened on-duty personnel with a knife and abusive language, attempting to attack them. Additional law enforcement personnel, including an Assistant Sub-Inspector, responded to the scene and managed to disarm Kelvin after a struggle. The police have noted that Kelvin has a history of similar behavior.

In January of this year, Kelvin allegedly attacked staff members using stones and the lid of a water sump. The police are monitoring the situation closely, considering Kelvin's past incidents of violence against FRRO staff members.
