BGP personal arrested a man at Feram Puru, Maungdaw North on Sunday for giving information to Rohingya media based abroad, according to our local correspondent.

Imam Hossain, s/o Ola Miah was arrested from in front of his house at around 10pm. BGP said that he was using a Bangladesh SIM card for passing fake information to media personal based in that country.

Many Rohingyas use Bangladesh SIM card to contact with their friends and relatives in the neighbouring country. Almost half a million Rohingyas have fled to Bangladesh following brutal persecution at home.

Imam was assaulted in custody throughout the night. He was released the next day on payment of 400,000 kyats.
