Three B'deshis held for illegal stay in Ahilyanagar for 2 years
Pune: In a joint operation with the Military Intelligence (MI) of the Southern Command, Ahilyanagar police on Friday arrested three Bangladesh nationals for illegally staying in the Pokhardi industrial zone for the last two years. The police and the MI are searching for an agent named 'Pappu', who has been allegedly facilitating illegal immigrants from the India-Bangladesh border for the last few years. The arrested suspects managed to obtain Aadhaar and PAN cards at a centre in Thane district. "We are investigating how they managed to make such original-looking documents. With these documents, they could open their bank accounts. We are trying to establish how these immigrants come in contact with the local industries where they have been working for the last few months," said senior inspector Manik Chaudhari from the MIDC police station, where an FIR has been lodged.
