Tripura: One Bangladeshi, four Rohingyas held at Agartala Railway Station

Five individuals were apprehended by railway authorities at Agartala Railway Station late Saturday night for attempting to travel within India without proper documentation.

The group, consisting of one Bangladeshi national and four Rohingya individuals, was detained in a joint operation by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP).

GRP Officer-in-Charge Tapas Das revealed on Sunday that initial questioning uncovered the suspects' illegal entry into India. The detainees reportedly admitted to crossing the international border unlawfully and were planning to travel to major cities including Chennai, Gujarat, and Hyderabad.

"We have registered a case against them and forwarded them to court," Das stated, emphasising the lack of legal documents among the group.

Authorities identified the Bangladeshi national as Sukur Ali from Comilla, Bangladesh. The four Rohingya individuals were identified as Amir Haqil, Yasmin Akhtar, Md Tareq, and Md Ulla.
