Tripura Police intercepted seven Rohingya nationals, including two infant girls, at Churaibari in the North district while they were en route to Hyderabad by night bus. Acting on a tip-off, police conducted a routine check on a bus with registration number ML05T/8382 on National Highway No. 8 Assam-Agartala. Suspicious behavior by two men and three women led to their apprehension.
Upon interrogation, it was discovered that the group had illegally crossed into Tripura from Cox’s Bazar Rohingya camp in Bangladesh through touts at the Indo-Bangla border. The detainees, 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, now face legal proceedings under Indian law, with their case scheduled for hearing at the Dharmanagar district court on July 5.
