Earlier last week, Delhi Police nabbed several Bangladeshi immigrants to find that they had crossed into India via the Benapole and Hakimpur borders in West Bengal before travelling to Delhi by train. Many chose to reside in the South and South-East districts of Delhi, particularly in areas with a significant Bengali-speaking population, such as CR Park, to blend in more easily.

According to officials, some of the detained immigrants were found in possession of forged Indian documents, including Aadhar and PAN cards, while others had no identification papers. Authorities are ramping up efforts to track down and dismantle the networks responsible for enabling their illegal entry and continued stay in the country.
