4 Bangladeshi nationals ‘staying illegally in India for 12 years' caught in Delhi, sent to deportation centre
In a crackdown on illegal immigration, the Delhi Police on Monday apprehended four Bangladeshi nationals who had allegedly been staying in India illegally for the past 12 years.
The police identified the alleged illegal immigrants as Mohammad Asad Ali, 44, his wife Nasima Begum, 40, their son Mohammad Naim Khan, 18, and their 13-year-old daughter. They were residents of Farooq Bazar Ajwatari in Phulbari in Bangladesh's Kurigram district, the police added.
According to the Anti-Auto Theft Squad (AATS) of South West District, Delhi, acting on a tip-off about suspected illegal immigrants in the Delhi Cantt area, a team under the leadership of Police Inspector Ram Kumar, supervised by Assistant Commissioner of Police Ranvir Singh, approached the suspects.
The team questioned the suspects about their identities. According to the police, upon failing to provide valid Indian documentation, they allegedly admitted to having entered the country illegally by crossing the border approximately 12 years ago. They were subsequently taken into custody and were allegedly found in possession of photocopies of documents that proved their Bangladeshi identities.
Following verification, the alleged illegal immigrants were transferred to a deportation centre through coordination with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).
The crackdown was conducted as part of an initiative under the Ministry of Home Affairs' ongoing campaign to deport illegal immigrants.
Previously, on May 3, the Delhi Police had dismantled an alleged illegal immigration gang after arresting 12 people, including six Bangladeshi nationals and five Indian facilitators. The gang, led by Chand Miya, was involved in creating fake Aadhaar cards and other documents to aid illegal immigrants, the police said. The operation extended to Chennai, where 33 more Bangladeshi nationals were identified.
On May 18, three Bangladeshi women allegedly residing illegally in Delhi, including one who posed as a transgender person, were apprehended from North West Delhi's Mahendra Park. Two of the accused were found using smartphones with the banned IMO app to communicate with their families in Bangladesh, the police said.
