13 'illegal' Myanmar nationals arrested

In the wake of an intelligence alert about Bangladesh-based groups planning a terror strike in India, south zone (SZ) cops on Wednesday conducted searches at Asad Baba Nagar and apprehended 13 Myanmar nationals. Cops were now contemplating deporting these 13 foreigners staying illegally in the city.

The IB had issued an alert to all the states three days ago, stating that Bangla terror groups might strike at 23 places in India. As Hyderabad happens to be on the radar of these outfits, the Special Branch sleuths of Hyderabad cops along with SZ cops conducted search at Asad Baba Nagar to weed out foreigners staying illegally there. Though they could not trace any Bangladeshis, cops found 38 Myanmar nationals. They found 13 without UNHCR id cards. "One of the Myanmar nationals obtained a voter id and Aadhaar card. We have registered a case against him. The official who helped him obtain id cards will also be booked," DCP, SZ, V Satyanarayana said. (Courtesy of Times of India)
