Guwahati: At least six suspected Rohingyas have been detained for allegedly travelling without valid travel documents at Dharmanagar railway station in North Tripura on Thursday.

“We discovered inconsistencies in their claims. Furthermore, they were unable to communicate in Bengali or Hindi… We will follow the law and take legal action if they fail to produce legitimate documentation “, he further added.
It needs to noted that they have been handed over to Dharmanagar Police Station for interrogation to know their real identities.
