25 Rohingya Muslims who had arrived as part of the Tablighi Jamaat group were detained by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Ramban district of the union territory, officials said on Friday.
They had arrived at Dar village in Gool tehsil as part of a Tablighi group, the officials added. The 25 members were then sent to jail in the Hiranagar area of Kathua district, where most of the Rohingya Muslims, who had illegally entered the union territory, are housed.
The documents of the 25 detained are in the process of getting verified, ANI reported.
Police have identified them as Ameer Hakam, Jaffar Alam, Mohammed Noor, Abul Hasan, Mohammed Alam, Noor Ameen, Noor Hussain, Sayeed Hossain, Mohammed Salim, Mohammed Ismail, Kamal Hussain, and Mustafa Hussain. As per the reports, they were staying as refugees at Bhatinda and Narwal in Jammu for eight years.
On March 6 last year, 169 illegal immigrant Rohingyas were sent to the holding centre, following which the government had to conduct the process of nationality verification to make way for their deportation, ANI noted.
