“We want to assure all the people of West Bengal that we, the West Bengal Police are a very professional police force. In the past as well we have seen that we fought with left and right-wing extremism very well. We will do it again. We are keeping an eye on Bangladesh. We have told other agencies about the shortcomings in the passport system and we are changing our own things,” West Bengal DGP Kumar told ANI.
To address rising concerns over the unauthorized stay of migrants including Bangladeshi nationals in the capital, the Delhi Police has intensified efforts to identify, detain and repatriate individuals residing without valid Indian documents. The police said that as part of the drive eight illegal migrants from Bangladesh were detected and deported to their country through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).
The Bangladeshi nationals were identified as Jahangir, his wife Parina Begam and their six children. All were residing at Rangpuri.
Six Bangladeshi women were detained at Tripura’s Agartala railway station for illegal entry into India, officials said on Friday. Acting on confidential information, a joint operation by Agartala GRPS, RPF, BSF, and intelligence agencies led to the detention of six individuals, including four Bangladeshi nationals (three women and one man) and two Indian agents (one man and one woman), at Agartala Railway Station on Friday morning.
The detained individuals allegedly entered India illegally from Bangladesh and were preparing to board a train to travel to other states. During initial interrogation, the detainees revealed plans to travel to Kolkata. (ANI)
