 Mukherjee did not have his Aadhaar card
 Umarani's nephew Subrata said that he is a tailor here and his aunt was terrified after seeing NRC news.  Subrata said that Umarani did not have an Aadhaar card and his birth date was not written on his voter ID card.  Due to this, he felt that after the NRC was implemented, he would have to leave the country and in this concern he got a heart attack.

 One person died in Assam
 Apart from Bengal, the case of death of a person in Assam has also been linked to NRC.  A person who was declared a foreign national in Assam two years ago died on 13 October.  The man, Dulal Paul, was earlier kept in a detention camp in Assam, where he was admitted to a hospital in Guwahati due to ill health.  He died during treatment here on 13 October.  However, officials of the Assam government have said that under which condition Dulal's death is being investigated.
