Depot riot: Escapees could give up soon due to exhaustion, hunger, say police


BANDAR BAHARU: Police believe the Rohingya detainees who escaped from the Sungai Bakap Immigration depot early on Wednesday (April 20) could give themselves up soon due to exhaustion and hunger.

Kedah Criminal Investigation Department chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk G. Suresh Kumar said the detainees had fled the depot without any food supplies or spare clothes and this has put them at a disadvantage.
