Mumbai: Police in Mumbai have arrested 13 Bangladeshi nationals who were found carrying fake Aadhaar cards registered with addresses in Jharkhand’s Sahibganj district, officials said on Sunday.
Details of the arrested individuals have been shared with the Jharkhand Police and central investigative agencies.
The intruders, who had been operating as hawkers in Mumbai, were apprehended after a probe was launched.
Former Mumbai MP and BJP leader Kirit Somaiya shared information and photographs of the detained individuals on social media, expressing concern over the development. He alleged that Jharkhand’s border areas are turning into “base camps” for Bangladeshi infiltrators.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Ziaul Sheikh, Ayub Sheikh, Manaurul Sheikh, Saim Sheikh, Naeem Sheikh, Samoun Sheikh, Rafikul Sheikh, Zahir Sheikh, Naseema Bibi, Moinuddin Sheikh, Bariul Sheikh, Haleem Sheikh, and Kasud Sheikh.
Police investigations revealed that all of them carried Aadhaar cards with fake details, listing Jharkhand’s Sahibganj as their place of residence. A striking detail that raised suspicion was that most of the Aadhaar cards bore January 1 as the date of birth. Upon interrogation, the individuals admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals.
