“So far, we know, the case is related to trafficking of Rohingya migrants and Bangladeshi nationals. Earlier in the month of November, such raids were conducted in multiple locations of the state leading to arrests of more than 20 people in the month of November,” a senior police official told EastMojo.
According to sources, the names of the accused was revealed on Friday during an interrogation after previous arrests were made. Earlier during the November raids, three persons—Babul Tripura, Bikram Tripura and Sukanta Datta—were arrested by the NIA and BSF officials.
