Manipur: 23 Myanmar Nationals Held In Churachandpur

IMPHAL: Manipur Police apprehended as many as 23 illegal Myanmar nationals from Kawnpui village in Churachandpur district on Thursday.

The police said that the Myanmar nationals were arrested during a special drive for the identification of illegal immigrants carried out at Kawnpui around 11.30 a.m. The drive was led by two additional SPs, said the police, adding that of the 23 people held, six are males, 10 are females, and seven are children.

At the Kamakhya Railway Station in Guwahati, three Bangladeshi nationals were detained for breaking Indian immigration laws. In a coordinated operation on Wednesday, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Railway Police detained the Bangladeshi nationals. 

Abdul Kayum, Ajim Ali, and Sajjil Miya have been named as the three people who have been detained. The three individuals are Sylhet district natives of Bangladesh. Many unlawful documents, including phoney passports and Aadhar cards, have reportedly been confiscated from the trio's custody. 

The three Bangladeshi nationals were reportedly stationed in Kashmir before because of their jobs. 

Over 18 Bangladeshis, including 10 women, were detained by the Maharashtra Police on March 4 for staying unlawfully in the Thane region of Maharashtra.

The police detained the Bangladeshi citizens after receiving information that they would congregate at a building in Navi Mumbai's Ghansoli area to celebrate one of their wedding anniversaries.


“The police were tipped off that some Bangladeshi nationals would congregate to celebrate one of them's wedding anniversary at a building in Navi Mumbai's Ghansoli neighbourhood”, the Rabale police station official was cited as adding that the officials from the criminal division of the Navi Mumbai police conducted a nighttime raid as a result of it.


He claims that on March 1 and 2, the Mumbai Police made the arrests. The people living in the district illegally had been there for a year and lacked valid identification like passports and visas.


According to the police, an offence was registered against them under the Foreigners Act of 1946 and the Passport (Entry into India) Rules of 1950, and an investigation is currently underway.
