"Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have detained 25 persons of the ethnic Rohingya community in the Gool area of Jammu division’s Ramban district, a day after a prominent human rights group urged the Indian government to protect the refugees. The 25 members, who had arrived in a village as part of the Tableegh-i-Jamaat group – an apolitical Sunni Muslim missionary movement – earlier in March, were sent to a “holding centre” in the Hiranagar area of Jammu, where many Rohingyas are being held currently."
