Two more Rohingyas held with fake passports

The law enforcers arrested two more Rohingyas while they were trying to depart from Shahjalal International Airport on fake Bangladeshi passports early yesterday.
Two Bangladeshi nationals were also arrested by the Armed Police Battalion (APBn) for helping the Rohingyas go abroad.
The arrestees are Nur Haba, 40, of Mong, and Nur Ahmad, 30, of Mongdu in Myanmar, Md Yusuf Uddin alias Mizan, 42, of Chittagong and Md Hasim, 43, of Cox's Bazar.
"Nur Haba appeared at the departure lounge posing as Gulchhar Khatun while Nur Ahmad said he was Mohammad Rowshan," said an APBn official.
"Immigration police found both their passports fake during verification with the machine around 2:30am," he said, adding that in preliminary interrogation, the duo admitted managing each of the machine-readable passports in exchange of Tk 3 lakh.
The arrestees were later handed over to Airport police. A case was filed.
On Saturday, the APBn arrested 10 Rohingyas with Bangladesh passports, all trying to depart through the airport.
Detectives arrested nine Rohingyas from a residential hotel at the capital's Fakirapool on August 2 this year.
During preliminary interrogation, the arrestees confessed that they had been trying to manage Bangladeshi passports and fly to the Middle East.
Immigration and foreign ministry officials said once abroad, the Rohingyas commit different kinds of crime, thus tarnishing the image of Bangladesh.
Last month, the foreign ministry asked the deputy commissioners, especially of Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, to take steps to ensure that no Rohingya got a Bangladeshi passport.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Arabian authorities have arrested around 700 Rohingyas, who have already made their way to the country with Bangladeshi documents.
The Saudis are now pressing Bangladesh to take them back.
