Despite increased vigilance along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, Rohingyas are still managing to enter the country's water territories in small fishing boats and board small ships that reportedly take them away to Malaysia, reports UNB.
According to sources at the Home Ministry, the small ships used to deport the Rohingyas to the third country are anchored somewhere along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border and the illegal trafficking is run by a cartel comprised of people from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand.
Talking to the news agency, Deputy Commissioner of Cox's Bazar Ruhul Amin admitted that Rohingyas used to enter the country in groups through sea routes in the guise of fishermen.
However, the DC claimed that the flow of intruders has come down to almost a zero level in recent times.
Asked about the claims that Rohingyas are still managing to enter Bangladesh to migrate to a third country using fake documents, he said: "Those who had entered Bangladesh territories in the past are managing to do so. At present, the intrusion has stopped."
