Jinja. Suspected criminals have circulated leaflets threatening the Indian community in Jinja to face expulsion the President Iddi Amin way in the 1970s unless they pay a random of Shs. 5m each.

And against that, Police in Kiira region is investigating the people behind the threats.

The leaflets are directing Indians to either pay a minimum of five million shillings or risk being evicted from Uganda. They were dropped near Indian owned shops on Wednesday morning.

“You have one week to pay us a minimum of five million shillings or risk being forcefully thrown out of our country, stand warned,” reads one of the leaflets in part.

Roy Mandov, a member of the Indian Association says that for close to three years now, his colleagues have been subjected to numerous threats, however, the police have not done much to prosecute the suspects.

Mandov says that between 2019 and 2020, unidentified individuals used to steal their number plates and demand victims to pay a minimum of one million shillings before releasing the same to them, but the vice slowly disappeared.

Vincent Ssemaganda, the Aldina village chairperson which is host to several Indian businesses says that several Indians have complained of being physically attacked by unknown individuals.

“Several Indians have complained to me on how their children are openly bullied, physically assaulted, their items forcefully grabbed in broad daylight, however, most of them never engage police authorities to further investigate these complaints which frustrate chances of prosecution,” he says.

The Kiira region police spokesperson Abbey Ngako says that detectives have been dispatched at the scene of the crime and efforts of reviewing footage from some of the neighbouring privately owned CCTV cameras are underway to ascertain the identities of the suspects.
