The Uttar Pradesh Police’s Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) claimed to have arrested seven Rohingyas, including four women, from near the Kanpur bus stand on Sunday evening.
Officials said those arrested, all natives of Myanmar, had entered India illegally.
They were identified as Mohammad Jakaria (38), Noor Mustafa (20), Shoaib (19), Noor Habib (21), Farsa (20), Rajiya (19) and Sabkur Nahar (20), said a police official.
The police also arrested Subeer Sabdakar (33), a resident of Tripura, for allegedly having facilitated their entry into India.
They entered the Indian territory through the Bangladesh border with the help of a human trafficking syndicate, the police claimed.
Acting on information about the presence of the Rohingyas near the Kanpur bus stand, a police team rushed to the spot and arrested them. An FIR was lodged at the ATS police station in Lucknow on various charges, including cheating and fraud, and under the Foreigners Act.
