NIA Charge-Sheets Eight in Rohingya and Bangladeshi Trafficking Syndicate

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has charge-sheeted eight individuals involved in a transnational trafficking syndicate smuggling Rohingyas and Bangladeshis into India using forged documents. The accused were operating in various states across India and Bangladesh, exploiting trafficked individuals for hard labor under threat of arrest.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took a significant step on Monday by charge-sheeting eight suspects involved in a transnational trafficking syndicate. This group is accused of smuggling Rohingyas and Bangladeshis into India using forged documents.

According to an official statement, Jalil Miah, Hanan Miah, absconder Kajal Sarkar, Adhir Das, and Anwar Hussain alias Mama—all operating from Tripura—have been named in the supplementary charge sheet filed before a special court in Guwahati.

The accused secured fake Indian ID documents for Bangladeshi nationals through clandestine means. The trafficked individuals were forced into hard labor on low wages and faced threats of police arrest. The NIA, which registered the case in October 2023, continues its search for absconders and other suspects in the massive human trafficking network.
