How Nepali "job-seekers" cross into India via Bihar to reach Qatar, UAE from Mumbai
In the past week, 10 Nepali nationals were arrested at Mumbai airport for trying to travel to Gulf countries using fake documents. Police say the group had entered India illegally by crossing the open Nepal-Bihar border and each of them had paid Rs 2.5 lakh to agents in Nepal for forged papers. How did they enter India? According to police, the group entered India through seven districts along the porous 601km Nepal-Bihar border—namely West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Araria, and Kishanganj. Instead of using legal entry points, they chose hidden routes to avoid checks.

On May 26, six men, Ramekbal Mahto Dhanuk (27), Mohammad Samim Alam (23), Raki Yadav (20), Mohammad Haroon Manihar (37), Mobin Musalman (32), and Jogindra Yadav (36), were caught while trying to board flights to Doha and the UAE. They said they were going for job opportunities. Just three days later, four others, Jogindra Bishnu Das (24), Anish Kumar Sije Das (19), Sindhu Kumar Upendra Jha (22), and Jhagaru Ram Sobhait Das (38), were also caught. They claimed to be electrical assistants and labourers heading to the UAE. Live Events What raised suspicion? Immigration officer Ajay Mhatre noticed something odd in the documents of one passenger, Ramekbal Dhanuk. On checking further, they found the same issues with the other five travellers. Immigration officer Radha More later confirmed that the foreign employment permits shown by the four caught on May 29 were fake. The Nepal embassy in Delhi said they hadn't issued any NOC (No Objection Certificate) or work permit to these men, though they had submitted documents saying otherwise. Who's behind this? Police are now tracking two suspected agents in Nepal, Shakir Yadav and Ahmed. They are believed to have arranged fake Indian passports and forged embassy permits. The authorities are also checking if these agents had helped other people in a similar way. The investigation is ongoing to find out more about the network and how many people may have used this illegal route in the past. Inputs from TOI

Illegal route from Nepal to Gulf via Patna & Mum: 10 arrested at city airport
Mumbai: Ten Nepal nationals were arrested at the city airport in the past week, throwing up a pattern in immigration that begins with an illegal border crossing in Bihar. All 10 were trying to fly to Gulf countries on forged papers. Police said they allegedly paid Rs 2.5 lakh each to agents back home. Two of them had got Indian passports using fake documents. Six were intercepted by immigration officials while attempting to travel to Doha and the UAE on May 26, claiming they had been hired for jobs there. Days later, four more, who claimed to be electrical assistants and labourers, were arrested before they could board a flight to UAE. Immigration officer Radha More said the men said their agent in Nepal helped them avoid legal border crossing points and that they took a flight to Mumbai from Patna. Foreign employment permits issued by the Nepali embassy in Delhi were forged for the racket. Sahar police probe have found 10 Nepali nationals seeking passage to the Gulf countries had reached the city by using seven porous districts along the 601km Bihar-Nepal border to illegally gain entry into India. An officer said police are tracking down the Nepali agents and their Indian collaborators and are ascertaining why these men chose to enter India illegally from Bihar's West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Araria and Kishanganj districts when there are legal entry points for Nepali nationals. On May 26, six Nepali nationals—Ramekbal Mahto Dhanuk (27), Mohammad Samim Alam (23), Raki Yadav (20), Mohammad Haroon Manihar (37), Mobin Musalman (32), and Jogindra Yadav (36)—were intercepted by immigration officials while attempting to travel to Doha and the UAE, claiming they had been hired for jobs there. Three days later, four more—Jogindra Bishnu Das (24), Anish Kumar Sije Das (19), Sindhu Kumar Upendra Jha (22) and Jhagaru Ram Sobhait Das (38), who claimed to be electrical assistants and labourers—were arrested before they could board a flight to the UAE. Immigration officer Radha More explained that any Nepali national who wishes to travel abroad for work from India has to get an NOC from the Nepal embassy in Delhi. "The four caught on May 29 produced their passports with the NOC, but a communication with the embassy revealed that its system had no data on them." Police said the first tranche of illegal Nepali nationals was caught after immigration officer Ajay Mhatre detected irregularities in Dhanuk's documentation. "When his colleagues encountered the other five Nepali citizens travelling to the UAE and Doha, they alerted wing in-charge Ranjan Kumar. The Nepal embassy in Delhi confirmed they hadn't issued any NOC or foreign employment permit to these individuals," said an officer. Police are looking into two alleged Nepali agents, Shakir Yadav and Ahmed, for their involvement in procurement of false documentation and whether they had assisted others in a similar manner in the past.
