Five members of a Rohingya family, who arrived here from Hyderabad, has been taken into custody, police said Tuesday.
This comes days after the Centre directed the states to be cautious and observe the movements of the Rohingya, citing national security.
"The presence of Rohingya is confined not only to the northeastern states. They have reached south Indian states including Kerala," Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had recently said, calling all Rohingya in India "illegal immigrants."
Speaking in Hindi, one of them told a TV channel: "We heard that we will get good jobs here. The sea is also nearby... there we do not get good wages for our work."
