Five Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in Delhi detained near Red Fort
According to the police, they had come to visit the historic monument on Monday and were trying to enter the premises, unaware that it has remained closed to the public since July 15 due to heightened security ahead of Independence Day.
The five men — aged between 20-25 years — were intercepted by security personnel deployed near the Red Fort, they said.
'They were stopped during routine checking as they did not possess valid entry passes. During questioning, it was found that all five were Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India illegally around three to four months ago," an officer said.
They told police that they were working as daily wage labourers in different parts of Delhi, he said.
While they were found in possession of Bangladeshi documents, no suspicious items or activities were discovered during the interrogation, the police said.
Deportation proceedings have been initiated, they said, adding that further investigation is in progress. PTI BM NB

Infopark honey trap case: IT company owner, three others booked
Kochi, The Infopark honey trap case, in which a couple was recently arrested over allegations of attempting to extort crores of rupees from the owner of an IT company, has taken a twist, with police registering a sexual harassment case against the owner based on the complaint of the accused woman. Infopark honey trap case: IT company owner, three others booked Police registered the case on Tuesday against Venu Gopalakrishnan, the owner of the IT company in Kochi's Infopark, and three others after recording the woman's statement, which took several hours and continued until midnight on Monday. Investigators said various non-bailable sections of the BNS have been invoked, including Section 74 , Section 75 , Section 79 , Section 3 and Section 351 . A section of the Information Technology Act has also been applied against the accused, they said, adding that the alleged incidents occurred between February last year and July this year. "We are yet to summon the accused. An investigation is under way and we need to verify the details of the complaint," a senior police officer told PTI. Later in the day, the complainant, while speaking to a TV channel, made serious allegations against Gopalakrishnan, her former employer. She accused him of "implicating her and her husband in the honey trap case after she warned him that she would report the harassment she had suffered at the workplace to the company's internal grievance redressal cell". Neither Gopalakrishnan nor the other accused have responded to the allegations so far. Police, last week, had arrested the woman and her husband of trying to extort ₹30 crore from Gopalakrishnan by threatening to tarnish his reputation and implicate him in a false rape case. According to police, she and her husband, Krishna Raj, had spread rumours that she had an illicit relationship with the IT company owner. They then allegedly warned they would lodge a rape complaint against him unless he paid them. A team led by Central ACP Siby Tom arrested the couple and recovered the ₹20 crore cheque leaf and agreement papers from them, police had said.
