Immigration Police Officer Abdul Hamid said the two were trying to enter India through Akhaura land port when the police questioned them due to their suspicious behaviour.
He said although they had both India and Myanmar’s visa on their passports, they were unable to disclose their identities properly, which made the law enforcement wary of them.
However, on preliminary interrogation, they confessed to being residents of Cox’s Bazar’s Balukhali camp for Rohingya refugees. Aftewards, they were handed over to Akhaura police.
He said: “We do not know how they acquired the passports.”
Akhaura police station Officer-in-Charge OC) Rasul Ahmed Nizami said the detainees have been kept in the police station and that a case will be filed against them soon.
