31 Rohingyas held in Ctg for fleeing camps

Police arrested 31 Rohingya people, who fled from the different camps in Cox's Bazar and took jobs in households, from Boalkhali upazila of Chattogram early yesterday.

The law enforcers filed a case with Boalkhali Police Station, accusing them under Foreigners Act.

Officer-in-Charge of the police station Abdul Karim told The Daily Star, "Following a tip-off, police raided the hilly Karaldanga area around 5:30am and arrested the 31 Rohingyas." 

"They were working there as low-cost labourers," he added.

"They fled their camps in Cox's Bazar and illegally resided there hiding their identities," the OC said.
