In a significant operation, Tripura Police intercepted seven Rohingya nationals, including two infant girls, at Churaibari in the North district.
The group, which comprised five adults and two children, was detained while attempting to travel to Hyderabad by a night bus, following a tip-off.
During routine checks at the Naka Point of Churaibari police station on National Highway No. 8 Assam-Agartala, police officers searched a night bus bearing the registration number ML05T/8382.
The authorities noticed two men and three women behaving suspiciously.
Upon interrogation, it was revealed that all detainees had come from the Cox's Bazar Rohingya camp in Bangladesh. Officer-in-charge Khokon Saha stated that the group had illegally entered Tripura via touts at the Indo-Bangla border in Dhanpur, Sepahijala district, with the intended destination being the Royal Colony in Hyderabad.
The adult detainees were identified as Abdul Ilahi (22), Abdul Sukkur (19), Rumi Begum (19), Rozina Begum (22), and Chakhina Begum (18). Along with Rumi Begum’s two infant daughters, they formed the apprehended group.
A case has been registered at the local police station under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Foreigners Act, and Passport Act. The detainees are scheduled to appear before the Dharmanagar district court on July 5.
