Quoting the Railway Protection Force (RPF) assistant sub inspector Laxman Debbarma, the report said, "They were on board the Kanchanjungha Express and had general category tickets from Agartala till Badarpur junction in Assam. Some of them alighted on the station and were behaving suspiciously. So we detained them and later found out they were Rohingyas from Myanmar."
