Reportedly, during the interrogation, Jamal admitted that he had lived in a mosque at Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir from 2016 to 2018. In 2012, he had come to India from Bangladesh and went to Jammu and Kashmir.

On the other hand, Amir confessed that he had come to India from Bangladesh around six months ago and lived in Jammu. Both of them were about to return to Bangladesh following which they came to Badarpur station.

Eventually, after the arrest and interrogation, the duo were handed over to Badarpur police.

In May this year, a 30-year-old Myanmar national of the Rohingya community was apprehended from a train at New Haflong station in Assam's Dima Hasao district for travelling without valid documents.

The man was held from a Bhopal-bound train and an initial investigation revealed that the man has suspected links with Pakistani terror groups in terms of financial transactions.

The man identified as Noorul Amin had boarded the Agartala-Rani Kamlapati special train from Badarpur railway station in south Assam on Sunday for Rani Kamlapati station in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

However, he could not show any such document following which the TTEs contacted RPF and as the train reached New Haflong station, the RPF took him in custody.
