Crime Branch arrests a family of six Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in Delhi

New Delhi [India] May 12 (ANI): The Southern Range of the Delhi Police Crime Branch has apprehended a family of six Bangladeshi nationals, including four minors, residing illegally in the Jhuggi area of Bawana, North Delhi. The family of illegal immigrants had been living in India without valid documentation for over five years. The apprehended individuals have been identified as Sahidul Hossain (45), his wife Parul Begum (35), and their four minor children. According to Aditya Gautam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of the Crime Branch, the family originally hails from Kamlarkuti village in Kurigram district, Bangladesh. They entered India illegally through West Bengal and had previously lived in Kharkhoda, Haryana, where they worked at a brick kiln before relocating to Delhi. The operation was carried out following intelligence inputs developed by the Constable of the Crime Branch. Based on surveillance and confirmed location details, the team raided a settlement in Bawana and successfully apprehended the family. During questioning, the adults initially denied their Bangladeshi nationality and failed to provide any valid Indian identity proof. However, sustained interrogation led to the recovery of Bangladeshi identity documents from their possession and a full confession. Sahidul Hossain admitted that he had been living in India illegally since 2019. He revealed that he was lured by a fellow Bangladeshi named Kavinath, who promised better employment opportunities in India. The family's journey to India involved crossing the Indo-Bangladesh border illegally through unfenced fields near Balahat. From there, they travelled by auto-rickshaw to Dinhata Railway Station, boarded the Brahmaputra Mail, and eventually arrived in Delhi. Upon settling in the National Capital Region, Sahidul took up contract-based work at various brick kilns, earning approximately Rs5,000 per week. The police have initiated legal proceedings, and deportation measures are coordinated with the relevant authorities. (ANI)

Delhi: Bangladeshi couple, 4 kids rounded up from Bawana slums

Six illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, who had been living in Haryana for the past five years, were picked up from a slum cluster in Bawana, a Delhi Police official has said. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Aditya Gautam said the Bangladeshis entered India via West Bengal and worked at a brick kiln in Kharkhoda, Haryana, before moving to Delhi. Those arrested have been identified as Sahidul Hossain (45), his wife Parul Begum (35) and their four minor children, the police said. The accused initially denied their Bangladeshi origin but failed to produce any Indian identity proof. Sustained interrogation led to the recovery of Bangladeshi identity cards and a full confession, the police said. During questioning, Sahidul Hossain revealed that he had been residing in India illegally for the past five years with his wife and children and was employed as a casual labourer in brick-making units, earning approximately Rs 5,000 per week. He disclosed that he was persuaded to migrate to India by one Kavinath, a fellow villager from Bangladesh, who promised better employment opportunities, the police said. The journey began with a bus ride from their native village to Balahat, from where they illegally crossed the Indo-Bangladesh border through unfenced agricultural fields. After crossing the border, they reached a nearby road and hired an auto-rickshaw to Dinhata Railway Station, the police said. From there, they boarded the Brahmaputra Mail and travelled to Delhi. Upon arrival, Kavinath returned to Bangladesh, while Sahidul stayed behind and began working on a contract basis at various brick kilns in and around Delhi, the police said. DCP Gautam said steps were being taken to deport them to Bangladesh after completion of legal formalities. He said the Bangladeshis were arrested because of surveillance that was mounted after an input was received by Constable Prateek. A team from Crime Branch Southern Range was formed under the supervision of ACP Naresh Solanki for arrest the culprits, he said.
