Two Bangladeshis arrested

JAKARTA (JP): Officers of the Tangerang immigration office
captured two Bangladeshis in Tangerang on Monday for allegedly
breaching immigration regulations, the office's head, Dody
Mawardi Wibowo, said.

Dody was quoted by Antara as saying that the two, identified
as Mohammad Abdul Hossian (holder of passport No. 0791423) and
Alam Bhuiyan (passport No. 0605013), were arrested when they
applied for stay permits at the Batusari subdistrict office in
Tangerang.

They were arrested after a Batusari subdistrict employee
noticed alterations had been made to the dates of their visas,
Dody said.

"We found irregularities in the passports," he said.

He said the two admitted to the immigration officers that they
evaded arrest in Malaysia after their work permits had expired
and they fled the country.

"They intended to seek jobs here even though they know that
Indonesia is having a monetary crisis," Dody said.

It was not immediately clear as to where the two were
detained. (hhr)
