New Delhi: In a coordinated operation, Delhi Police’s North West District arrested 38 Bangladeshi nationals from various parts of Delhi. These individuals, including women and children, had previously lived in Nuh and traveled to Delhi via Bihar, according to police officials. The arrested group had initially tried to settle in Bihar but failed to establish connections or find livelihood opportunities, prompting them to move to Delhi, where they started working in factories and living in unauthorized settlements. All of them are reported to be illegal immigrants without valid documents.

On Thursday, the East District Police detained five Bangladeshi nationals, among them three minors, who were residing illegally in the National Capital Region. The group includes Md Shaheen (30), his wife Rujeena (26), and their children—a 14-year-old boy, a nine-year-old girl, and a four-year-old boy—all residents of Shimulbari village in Kurigram district, Rangpur division, Bangladesh. They reportedly entered India through illegal river routes along the Indo-Bangladesh border and had been living discreetly in Anand Vihar, East Delhi, to avoid detection.

DCP East Abhishek Dhania stated that the operation was carried out on May 28 by a special team under the guidance of senior officers, utilizing human intelligence and technical surveillance based on specific intelligence inputs. This operation is part of a larger ongoing effort launched on November 19, 2024, aimed at identifying and acting against illegal immigrants in the district. Since the initiative began, 20 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have been deported. Delhi Police emphasized their ongoing commitment to maintaining security and enforcing immigration laws, with plans to continue efforts to locate and remove illegal entrants.

Additionally, reports indicate that approximately 160 Bangladeshi nationals were being deported from Delhi to Bangladesh via the Hindon airbase on the same day.
