No Rohingya or Bangladeshi immigrant is illegally residing in Mathura, the local police said, refuting claims that scrap dealers — predominantly from the Muslim community — are sheltering them.

The response from the police came after two petitioners in the ongoing Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah dispute case wrote to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, demanding action against illegal immigrants as well as the scrap traders, who allegedly employ them in the district, reported PTI.
