Eight Rohingya people, including four children, who have illegally entered India from Myanmar and been found in possession of Indian identity cards were apprehended in Hyderabad on Tuesday, the Rachakonda police said.
The accused used fake documents and fraudulent means to obtain Indian documents of identity and nationality claiming to be Indian nationals, the police said.
They have been charged with forgery, abetment, cheating by giving false declarations before government officials, obtaining Indian identity cards illegally, and causing damage to India’s integrity.
The arrested people were identified as Md Arman, 32; Md Rumana Akther, 26; Md Nayeem, 20; and Md Haris, 33. From their possession, the police said they recovered five Aadhaar cards, two PAN cards, five voter IDs, one driving licence, two LIC policy bonds, three ATM cards, one Bharat gas book, two passbooks of Union Bank of India, two passbooks of SBI, one cheque book of Andhra Bank, one UNHCR ID card, and five mobile phones. Two others, Ayaz and Shoaib Malik, are absconding, the police said.
According to the police, Md Arman, Md Rumana Akther and Md Nayeem crossed the Myanmar border and illegally entered India in 2011. Arman enrolled himself with UIDAI and got himself an Aadhar card in 2014 from a Meeseva centre in Machal by suppressing facts and giving false declarations. With Arman’s Aadhar card and marriage declaration affidavit, his wife Rumana got an Aadhar card.
Arman was working in a battery shop and residing with his wife and brother Nayeem in Pedda Amberpet. Md Haris was working as a teacher at Jamia Saria Madrasa and residing at Balapur.
The police found that Nayeem had acquainted himself with Shoaib Malik, who had illegally entered India in 2016. Shoaib then helped Nayeem get an Aadhar card by submitting fake documents and false declarations.
