New Delhi, March 17 Intensifying its campaign against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, the Delhi Police detained seven of them, including a minor, from East Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar and four other locations, an official said on Monday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, East District, Abhishek Dhania said the seven Bangladeshi nationals were staying illegally without any valid documents at different locations in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
“We were working on a lead for two weeks and we succeeded with the arrest of Dilawar Khan S/o Gaffar Khan R/o Krishna Nagar, New Delhi,” said DCP Dhania, adding that the detainee had shed light on the network that sends illegal migrants into India via the river route.
“Upon initial interrogation, Dilawar Khan falsely claimed to be a resident of West Bengal. However, after sustained interrogation and verification, his identity was revealed as Dilawar Khan S/o Gaffar Khan from village Morrelganj of Morrelganj District, Bangladesh,” he said.
Following his sustained interrogation, six more illegal Bangladeshi nationals were identified in the Delhi-NCR area. “For this, the teams, acting swiftly and simultaneously, conducted various raids on Sunday at different locations in Laxmi Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Seemapuri in Delhi and Shalimar Garden in Ghaziabad, UP,” he said.
The seven illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, including a woman and a minor, have been detained with the persistent efforts of the joint teams of Special Staff and Anti-Narcotics Squad of East District, said DCP Dhania.
