Some Indian and Bangladeshi identification documents were recovered from these people, they said.
Gurugram, Jul 25 (PTI) Eight Bangladeshi nationals have been detained here as part of an ongoing drive to identify illegal immigrants and they will be deported, police said on Friday.
Eight Bangladeshi citizens who were staying illegally in Gurugram have been identified and detained under the Foreigners Act, 1946, police said.

Another Cooch Behar man gets Assam NRC notice
Jalpaiguri: Yet another Cooch Behar resident has received an NRC notice from Assam's Foreigners Tribunal. Baxirhat resident Dipankar Sarkar, who works as a carpenter in Guwahati's Paltan Bazar, has been residing in Assam for over a decade. In 2014, he was summoned by Assam Police on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi intruder and a case was registered against him in 2015. The notice, dated Jan 24 this year, was received by Sarkar in March. It directs him to appear before the tribunal with documents to establish his Indian nationality.

Police Urge Hoteliers To Join Fight To Curb Human Trafficking, Prostitution
Nagpur: "Don't turn hotels into human trafficking bases or prostitution hubs," the cops have urged hotel owners, advising them to stop crime on their premises during a joint interactive session at Police Bhavan in Civil Lines on Friday. Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Mahek Swami, referring to Operation Shakti against trafficking, urged hotel and lodge owners to ensure their premises are not misused by racketeers for prostitution or trafficking. "If a minor is spotted with suspicious persons in hotels or lodges, inform police immediately. Do not allow check-ins on an hourly basis. Take a pledge of zero tolerance for exploitation on your premises," said Swami, adding that human trafficking also involves rackets of illegal organ trade, begging, and forced labour. City police, under Operation Shakti, have launched a concerted effort to curb human trafficking. The police-hotelier meeting session witnessed a reiteration of the mission. Additional commissioner of police (Addl CP) Shivaji Rathod emphasized Nagpur's significance as the hometown of high-profile personalities with top-level security, alongside international establishments under the radar of terrorists. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses In Gornje Novo Selo Container House Search Now Undo "Alert police if individuals speaking different languages or behaving strangely are noticed," Rathod advised. Addl CP (Crime) Vasant Pardeshi stressed the importance of character verification for hotel and lodge staff to prevent criminal infiltration. Joint commissioner of police (Jt CP) Navinchandra Reddy noted that hotels, lodges, and similar premises are under police surveillance at the station level, including unregistered establishments. Responding to Tejinder Singh Renu, president of Nagpur Residential Hotel Association (NRHA), who raised concerns about unauthorized hotels mushrooming across the city, Reddy warned, "Do not operate without valid documentation. " Under CP Ravinder Singal's supervision, senior officials reiterated mandatory guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the hotel industry. Hoteliers raised concerns about cheating and impersonation cases, seeking police intervention. The police highlighted that interstate gangs increasingly use hotels as bases for citywide criminal operations, often with minors checking in using fake Aadhaar cards, incorrect phone numbers, or other bogus credentials. Offences will be registered against hotel managements violating norms, police warned. Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Abhijeet Patil revealed that interstate gangs of burglars, chain-snatchers, robbers, and tricksters frequently target hotels near bus and railway stations. "Encourage electronic payments, maintain entry-exit records, and install updated CCTV systems with dual DVRs," Patil advised. Jt CP Reddy assured that police excesses would be addressed but urged hoteliers to act responsibly. Police instructed hoteliers to verify Aadhaar cards via apps, check cellphone numbers, and scrutinise credentials, especially for outstation guests with suspicious behaviour. CCTV surveillance, particularly audio-visual systems at receptions, was strongly recommended to enhance security.

'Rahul Gandhi told you so in 2018': Congress on ED summoning Anil Ambani; attacks PM Modi
NEW DELHI: With ED summoning industrialist Anil Ambani for alleged loan fraud involving a massive sum, Congress hurled a "Rahul told you so" barb at BJP, asking whether PM Narendra Modi would answer the allegations made by Rahul Gandhi during the row over the Rafale purchase seven years ago. Congress spokesperson and MP Manickam Tagore reposted on X Rahul's post from 2018 in which he had slammed the awarding of the Rafale offsets contract to Anil as cronyism by Modi, saying "the PM and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a Rs 130,000 crore surgical strike on Indian defence forces... you betrayed India's soul." Tagore said, "Then, many laughed, few believed. Now, ED has summoned Anil Ambani in a Rs 17,000 crore loan fraud case, days after raids on his premises. The same Anil Ambani whose debt-ridden firm was picked for the Rafale offset deal - replacing HAL. Will Modi answer now?"
