The Delhi Police’s crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants is going on. During an operation in South East and South Delhi, the police arrested over 12 Bangladeshi nationals who had entered the country illegally. According to the Delhi Police, several documents were also recovered during the operation.
The arrest was made after the police received an input about a group of Bengali speaking people looking for accommodation in an informal housing in the Peeragarhi camp area, said a senior official.
“The team spotted three individuals making their way towards the Peeragarhi camp, hidden behind the Kali Mata Mandir, conversing in Bengali. Their suspicious behavior didn’t go unnoticed. Swiftly, the authorities intercepted them, and started interrogating them,” said the official.
According to the officer, the three first mentioned that they were residents of West Bengal who were just passing through; but through intensive interrogation, they revealed their real identities.
The police identified the three as Safruddin (36), Ibrahim (38) from Kurigram, northern Bangladesh and Sorab (46), from Barguna, southern Bangladesh.
