Assam Police are on the hunt for three Rohingya detainees who escaped from a detention transit camp in Goalpara district. The escapees identified as Bodi Alam, Mustafa Kamal, and Abdul Kader took advantage of the night to flee on Thursday.

Their absence was noticed the following day during a routine attendance check, leading to a full-scale search operation. The incident has drawn significant attention, prompting a visit by IGP (Law and Order) Akhilesh Singh who is currently conducting an inquiry.

The facility, operational since January 2023, is designed to detain alleged foreigners residing in Assam. Current escape raises concerns over security protocols at the centre.
