Escaped to India, but persecution goes on: Arakanese Rohingya Falsely accused

Picked up by National Investigating Agency (NIA) on Nov 14, 2014, from his residence in Royal Colony near Balapur, the Rohingya refugee was lodged for five months in Presidency Jail in Kolkata and then transferred to Cherlapally Jail in the city, where he was an inmate for six months.

Finally, as NIA could not prove allegations against him, Khaled got a conditional bail but city police booked him under a cheating case (Section 420, 458, 471 of IPC) and Section 14 of Foreigners Act for not being registered under UNHCR.

“The NIA wanted to make me an accused in the Burdwan blast case, but could not join the dots to prove their case,” said Khaled, father of a two-year old. (Courtesy of rvisiontv.com)
