Even if this was true, would you claim them as somalis?
Because the source says so and it's quite well documented. Somalis went there with slaves they brought from Uganda to the Mughal Kings and they got involved in law making there and climbed up the hierarchy ladder. And before the Mughals arrived at the India subcontinent we had the
Hilaale dynasty in Maldives which was established by the
Ajuuraan Empire's traders and travelers as a trade and slave colony in the Indian Ocean. Somalis have been so active in the Indian subcontinent for so long. Even most researchers say that Dravidians migrated from east Africa to the Indian subcontinent less than 500-300 years ago.

''East Africans'' means Somalis, because the guys in the pics look like Cushitic and no other Cushitic people other than Somalis had been involved in the corrupt business of slavery thanks to the Indian Ocean and cities like Mogadishu and Qandala and colonies like Maldives and Mozambique. Ethiopians never made to the seas, they've been mainlanders their whole life. So Ajuuraan and Majeertinia empires ALONE could've been involved in such a business and brought Slaves to the Mughals. They were respectable merchants that's why they easily involved in the government and made to generals, rulers and governors as they already had the bases.
It's like when someone says ''European explorers'', you already know that they mean either Portuguese or Spanish explorers.
