The Rohingyas from different clusters of shelters fled and took position in the jungle to escape by boat through a gang of brokers.
"The Armed Police Battalion (APBN) Civil Team and the Coast Guard raided the forest around 9:30 pm on a tip-off. All were later handed over to the Bhasan Char CIC office through the police to take action against them," he added.
