Five Rohingya people, including three males and two females, were apprehended at Dharmanagar railway station on Friday. What raised serious concerns was that all of them possessed Indian Aadhaar cards. This shed light on the intricate illegal activities within the system and the danger of Rohingya infiltration into the region.
The detainees, identified as Noor Kulima, Mohammad Sah, Rozina Begum, Umrullah, and Md Ririan, were promptly taken into custody at the Dharmanagar police station following their apprehension.
Initial investigations into the matter uncovered the intricate network aiding the Rohingya migrants in their illegal entry into India. The six refugees, including the aforementioned individuals and another person named Ruksar Bibi, had escaped from the Kutupalan Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. It has come to light that a Bangladeshi man by the name of Mohammad Alam played a key role in facilitating their entry by providing them with counterfeit Indian Aadhaar cards.
According to the apprehended Rohingyas, Alam also taught them how to tackle different people at different people till they reach their destination.
To reach Agartala, the Rohingyas resorted to perilous measures. They clandestinely cut through the wire fencing along the Comilla border in Bangladesh and each paid Mohammad Alam a staggering amount of Rs 25,000 for their safe entry to Indian Territory.
They claimed that upon their arrival in Agartala, Ruksar Bibi managed to flee on a motorcycle, leaving the remaining five Rohingyas who managed to reach Dharmanagar on May 18.
The detained Rohingyas disclosed that their ultimate destination was Jammu in Jammu and Kashmir. Nevertheless, their illegal bid was thwarted when law enforcement agencies, acting on credible intelligence, successfully intercepted them at Dharmanagar railway station before they board a train and brought them to the Police Station.
This incident, once again, serves as a stark reminder of the imminent threat posed by Rohingya intrusions and the urgent need for bolstered border security measures.
As the detainees remain in custody at the Dharmanagar police station, the presence of fake Indian Aadhaar cards in their possession has raised significant alarm. This discovery not only underscores the risks associated with national security but also poses challenges in terms of social, economic, and demographic stability within the region.
Along with the Rohingya issue, the finding of Aadhaar cards with them serves as a wake-up call for proactive measures in combating this growing threat effectively.
