UP ATS arrests 3 Rohingyas living illegally in India; forged documents, passports recovered

The three Rohingya men were living on forged documents and helping others from Myanmar and Bangladesh settle down in India, said officials.

Uttar Pradesh ATS has arrested three Rohingya Muslims who were living in India on forged documents. Arrested from Unnao, Aligarh and Noida on the basis of input from the Lucknow-based Military Intelligence (MI) unit, the three men were facilitating others from Bangladesh and Myanmar to acquire similar documents and settle down in India. The MI unit had received information in 2019 about a group of Rohingya Muslims, who had settled down in various parts of the country after illegally acquiring Indian identification documents. Officials also had reason to believe that members of this group were actively involved in bringing other Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar and Bangladesh to India. They were also helping these people secure low-waged jobs in slaughterhouses and beef units.
