Retracting from its earlier stand that there is no plan to deport Rohingyas living in Bengaluru, the BJP led Karnataka government has filed a revised affidavit in Supreme Court on the deportation of Rohingyas, ANI reported.
In a fresh affidavit, the Home department said that Karnataka State Police have not housed Rohingyas in any camp or detention center within its jurisdiction and 126 Rohingyas have been identified in the state.
On Monday, the Karnataka government told the Supreme Court that it has not taken any action against the six dozen Rohingya refugees identified by the police, nor does it have any plan to deport them.
“Bengaluru City Police have not housed Rohingyas in any camp or detention centre within its jurisdiction. However, 72 Rohingyas identified in Bengaluru City are working in various fields and Bengaluru City Police have not taken any coercive action against them as of now and there is no immediate plan of deporting them,” the state said in an affidavit.
