The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested six persons on the charges for their alleged involvement in helping Rohingya Muslims enter India and thus, busted a human trafficking network.

Officials in the agency said, the network had been operating in the border areas of Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya as well as other parts of the country and helping Rohingya to settle in India on forged documents.

On March 11, they said, the NIA sleuths carried out searches at multiple locations in Assam, Meghalaya, and Karnataka in connection with the case.They said Kumkum Ahmed Chaudhury was the mastermind behind the network and had been operating from Bengaluru. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
