Five illegal Bangladeshi immigrants apprehended in Delhi-NCR
New Delhi [India], May 29 (ANI): In an ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration, the East District Police of Delhi have apprehended five Bangladeshi nationals, including three minors, residing illegally in the National Capital Region, Delhi Police said. The apprehended individuals have been identified as Md Shaheen (30), his wife Rujeena (26), and their three children: a 14-year-old son, a nine-year-old daughter, and a four-year-old son. All are residents of Shimulbari village, Police Station Phulbari, Kurigram district, Rangpur, Bangladesh. The individuals had reportedly entered India through unauthorised riverine routes along the Indo-Bangladesh border and were living covertly in the Anand Vihar area of East Delhi to avoid detection. DCP East Abhishek Dhania said, 'The operation was conducted on May 28 by a Special Staff team and the overall guidance of senior district police officials. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the team deployed a mix of human intelligence and technical surveillance to locate the suspects.' Upon being apprehended, the individuals failed to produce any documents establishing Indian nationality. A detailed examination of their mobile phones revealed digital evidence, including photographs of Bangladeshi identity documents, confirming their illegal status in India. In accordance with legal procedures, deportation proceedings have been initiated in coordination with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Delhi. This operation forms part of a broader drive launched on November 19, 2024, aimed at identifying and acting against illegal immigrants in the district. Since the launch of the drive, 20 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have been identified and deported, DCP Dhania said. Delhi Police reiterated their commitment to maintaining internal security and enforcing immigration laws, stressing that efforts to locate and remove illegal immigrants from the region will continue with unwavering focus.

Crackdown at the capital's edge: Family of five Bangladeshi nationals caught in Delhi
New Delhi: In a significant breakthrough under its ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration, the East District Police of Delhi have apprehended five Bangladeshi nationals, including three minors, who were residing illegally in the Anand Vihar area. The arrests were made as part of a special drive launched by the district police aimed at identifying and deporting foreign nationals living unlawfully in the city. The operation, which marks a key milestone in the district's intensified immigration enforcement efforts, was conducted based on specific intelligence inputs gathered through a combination of human intelligence (HUMINT) and technical surveillance. A special team from the Special Staff unit was constituted under the leadership of Inspector Jitendra Malik, operating under the direct supervision of Pawan Kumar, ACP/Operations, and overall guidance of Abhishek Dhania, Deputy Commissioner of Police, East District. According to police officials, the accused had entered India illegally through unauthorised riverine routes along the India-Bangladesh border, a method increasingly used by illegal migrants to avoid detection. The individuals had been living discreetly in Anand Vihar, attempting to blend in and avoid the attention of authorities. Following a meticulously planned raid, five individuals were detained. During questioning, none were able to produce any legal documents establishing Indian citizenship. As the police carried out scrutiny of their mobile phones it was revealed that they had photographic evidence of Bangladeshi identity documents. This confirmed their nationality and illegal presence in the country. The individuals apprehended have been identified as Md Shaheen, 30, and his wife Rujeena, 26. Along with the couple, three minors were also detained. All five are residents of village Shimulbari, Post Office Miyapara, Police Station Phulbari, District Kurigram, in the Rangpur division of Bangladesh. Now deportation proceedings have been initiated in coordination with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Delhi. Authorities are adhering strictly to the legal process, ensuring due respect for procedural safeguards while prioritising national security concerns. The presence of three minors among those apprehended has also prompted the police to coordinate with child welfare authorities to ensure that appropriate care and protection protocols are followed during the deportation process. According to East District Police officials, more operations are in the pipeline, and efforts are ongoing to trace other illegal foreign nationals believed to be residing in the district. The police said that the crackdown is not only aimed at upholding immigration laws but also at ensuring internal security, as illegal migration poses complex challenges, including the potential for identity fraud, unlawful employment, and strain on civic resources. Commenting on the operation, DCP Abhishek Dhania, IPS, said: 'This operation reflects the East District Police's continued commitment to identifying and acting against illegal immigration. Our teams remain vigilant and are working systematically to uphold the law while ensuring the safety and security of Delhi's residents.' He reiterated that the drive against illegal immigrants will continue with full intensity and called upon the public to report suspicious foreign nationals to local authorities.
