“They had been asked to return to wherever they came from,” said a police officer.

Police at Jiri, the headquarters of Jiribam district bordering Assam also nabbed six persons of suspicious nationalities.

“They had been pushed back,” indications are that they may be Rohingyas.

Meanwhile three Rohingya girls were chased out of a destitute home in Imphal east district. Local women came to know of the presence of these girls and agitated demanding their removal.

An official said that police had arrested the girls earlier but being minor girls they were left in the destitute home before their case was settled. However, the women activists said that their presence in the locality was not welcome.

The Chief Minister had expressed his surprise at the presence of 10 Ronhingas in rented rooms at Hatta in the heart of the Imphal city.
