Tripura: Five Illegal Immigrants Arrested at Agartala Railway Station

In a coordinated operation led by multiple security agencies, five illegal immigrants were detained at Agartala Railway Station in Tripura on Monday.

The individuals have been identified as Rohim Ullah (26) from Rachidang, Myanmar, currently residing in the Kutupalong Rohingya Camp, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh; Md Ayub (45) from Rachidang, Myanmar, residing in Hakimpara, Camp 14, Cox's Bazar; Hussanara Begum (32), also from Rachidang, Myanmar, and her 4-year-old son, Md Anish, both residing in Hakimpara, Cox's Bazar; Md Chan Miah (24) from Bogura, Bangladesh; and Sabbir Hossain (24) from Bogura, Bangladesh.

The detainees are currently being interrogated at the Agartala GRP police station. More arrests are likely.
