In Imanuddin (Rwa Ma) village tract, two informants in the absence of Village admins collaborated with two BGPโs personals to extort the money from the Rohingya.
Both the informants hailing from the same village called the BGPs named Thin Naing and U Maung Thin at around 8 PM and made them stay at an empty Rohingya house.
Later at 9 PM they called fourteen innocent Rohingya from the village and extorted 500, 000 Kyats from them by their usual threats of arbitrary arrest and torture.
The victims were identified and are as follows:
- Muhammed Jamal S/O Abu Siddik

Earlier one of the informant took 500, 0000 Kyats from a Rohingya family in the promise of releasing their son Rafique from the Burmese jail.
According to villager he took the money and built in own house and betrayed the family.
โThey (informants) are always backed by the Burmese Police and BGP here, so they commit any crimes without any fear,โ says a Rohingya from the village.
Extorting money and paralyzing the economic backbone of the Rohingya is a rooted genocidal tool implemented by the Burmese regime since the Junta rule to date.
