Probe launched after BJP complaint over stay of 200 Rohingya & Bangladeshis with Aadhaar cards in Jaunpur – UP

Over 200 suspected Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants have reportedly settled
in Murki village, Jaunpur, raising political and administrative concerns. A probe
has been launched following a complaint by a BJP leader, with a report due by
October 17.

Over 200 individuals, reportedly Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants, have been
discovered residing in Murki village, located in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. A
complaint concerning their presence has been filed by a Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) leader with the state’s Deputy Chief Minister, Brajesh Pathak. In response, the
local administration has formed a three-member committee to investigate the
matter, with a report expected by October 17.

Former BJP MLA Dinesh Chaudhary alleged that Murki, a Muslim-majority village
led by Mohammad Sadiq, has become a settlement ground for these outsiders. He
accused the village head of intentionally bringing them in to strengthen his
political support. Chaudhary further claimed that despite repeated objections from
local residents, Sadiq has taken no corrective measures.

Contrary to the allegations, the individuals in question have claimed Indian
citizenship. Most of them are involved in the trade of horses and mules or work at
nearby brick kilns. Many reportedly arrived in 2013 and claim to have legally
acquired land through their own efforts. Despite this, they continue to live in
temporary shelters made from plastic sheets and tarpaulins, with no permanent
housing structures built. All of them are said to possess Aadhaar cards.

Media reports indicate that three Muslim brothers were the first to settle in the
area. Over time, their extended family grew and now cultivates more than 26
bighas of land. Following the recent developments, intelligence agencies have
heightened surveillance, and the matter remains under active review by the
authorities.
