Four Rohingya Muslims refugees, a woman and three children were arrested from Tripura’s Unakoti district for staying in India without valid documents, police said on Tuesday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house in Yeazikhaora village under Irani police station limits and arrested them on Monday, Officer in-charge of the police station, Alamgir Hossain, said.
It is yet to be ascertained whether she is the mother of all the children.
The refugees were produced before Kailashahar Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate's (SDJM) court on Tuesday.
The SDJM sent the three minors to a juvenile home and remanded the woman to judicial custody for 14 days.
During preliminary interrogation, the woman said they came to India to visit relatives by crossing the Indo- Bangladesh border illegally and reached Assam with the help of a person, Hossain said.
At least 50 Rohingya refugees were arrested in Tripura since January.
On January 18, 31 Rohingya Muslims were arrested by the BSF from the no-man's land of the Indo-Bangladesh border at Kamalasagar in Sepahijala district.
