Delhi Police have arrested eight Bangladeshi nationals and eight Indian accomplices for running an illegal immigration network. The arrests took place in south Delhi, and the police reported that six Bangladeshi immigrants have been deported. Four others are still under investigation. The police discovered a system for creating fake identity documents. They also found a money laundering operation that sent funds from India to Bangladesh using digital payment apps. Some immigrants had even registered their children in local schools. One of those arrested is Md Alamgir, who has been in India since 2007 and has two children with his Indian wife. Another, Md Rejaul, obtained an Indian passport and traveled frequently between the two countries. Kamruzzaman was identified as a delivery agent using fake IDs, while other arrested individuals worked in various low-wage jobs. The police also arrested several Indians who were essential to the scheme. A key suspect is Md Moinuddin, who ran a computer shop and created fake birth certificates and other documents. He collaborated with Aadhaar enrollment agents to register the immigrants for government services.
