Crackdown continues on illegal Bangladeshis
Jaipur: City police intensified their crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi nationals with a second consecutive day of coordinated searches and interrogations across multiple parts of the city Thursday. The drive follows heightened security directives issued by chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma Wednesday, instructing police to identify and deport foreign nationals residing illegally in the state. According to officials, Wednesday's operation was launched across all four districts under Jaipur Commissionerate from 4am to 8am. The raids were conducted discreetly, based on confidential intelligence inputs, and were supervised by additional commissioner of police (law and order) Rameshwar Singh, under the overall monitoring of police commissioner Biju George Joseph. "We detained over 100 individuals Wednesday. Preliminary verification shows at least 35 of them were in possession of forged documents . We are now examining their mobile data, WhatsApp activity, call records, and financial transactions linked to Bangladesh," said an official. Those found residing illegally are being moved to the Alwar detention centre. Deportation proceedings will be initiated following document verification. Police are also probing the network of agents and individuals who allegedly facilitated the procurement of fake Aadhaar cards, Jan Aadhaar, PAN cards, and voter IDs for these immigrants. Sources said areas like Hasanpura, Daulpura, and Bhankrota have emerged as high-risk zones with a significant concentration of undocumented foreign nationals. In a similar operation in Oct last year, 11 Bangladeshi nationals were deported from Bhankrota for illegal residency. Officials added that Thursday's follow-up action included interrogation of the individuals detained a day earlier. "Some of them claimed to possess valid documents, but we are verifying their authenticity," said an officer.

State govt to identify, deportillegal Bangladeshi immigrants
Jaipur: The Rajasthan police will launch a major statewide operation to identify and deport illegal Bangladeshi immigrants following Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma 's directives Wednesday. At a high-level meeting held at the chief minister's residence, Sharma instructed officials to intensify surveillance and deport undocumented Bangladeshi nationals. The meeting was attended by home secretary Anand Kumar, DGP UR Sahoo, and senior officers from the state intelligence branch. The state has long struggled to detect such individuals, many of whom are believed to have obtained forged Indian identity documents such as Aadhaar, Jan Aadhaar, PAN cards, and even passports. Officials say this significantly complicates verification and deportation processes. "Despite repeated attempts, our efforts often faltered due to identity verification issues, especially in urban slums and informal settlements," a senior official told TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo An estimated 90,000 Bangladeshis are believed to be living in Rajasthan. Following the meeting, DGP Sahoo held a video conference with district SPs, instructing them to intensify local detection operations and coordinate closely with the state special branch (SSB). Sources said that the city police had uncovered an organised racket in Nov last year, facilitating the illegal stay of Bangladeshi nationals by supplying fake identity documents. Eleven Bangladeshi nationals were deported during that operation. "Coordination with central agencies like the ministry of external affairs (MEA) and ministry of home affairs (MHA) remains a key challenge in executing large-scale deportations," the official added. The state govt now plans a multi-agency campaign across districts to identify both illegal immigrants and networks that enable their stay. Action would also be taken against those who assist them in acquiring forged identity documents, officials said.
