Indian Helps Rohingya Man To Obtain Fake Aadhaar Card, Duo Held  

Hyderabad: A 19-year-old Rohingya man was arrested on Sunday on the charges of illegally procuring an Aadhaar card and illegal stay along with a 36-year-old Bengali merchant who helped him to get the card. The Rohingya man, Mohammad Ajamuddin alias Molla Ajamuddin, and his employer Riyazuddin Molla were nabbed from Bengal.

"Ajamuddin belongs to Myanmar and he and his family were living at Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh as refugees. About a year ago, Molla went to Bangladesh for some work related to his garment business and got acquainted to Ajamuddin. He then informed Ajamuddin that he could earn more money in India and gave his phone number to him. Subsequently, Ajamuddin came to Kolkata and met him. Since then, he has been working for Molla for a monthly salary of Rs 6,000. Molla was providing shelter to him illegally" the official attached to the Rachakonda Police Commissionerate said.

Later, Molla pretending as Ajamuddin’s father helped him to get an Aadhaar card by giving false information to the UIDAI authorities. A case was registered against the two under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and relevant sections of the Foreigners Act.

Last month, the Rachakonda police had arrested a 20- year-old Rohingya man, who claimed to be an Indian citizen and applied for a passport to enable him to go to Dubai. The police had also seized a PAN card from him. Scores of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar's Rakhine state have been fleeing the restive region since August amid a fresh wave of violence, triggering a refugee crisis in neighboring Bangladesh and India.
