The Delhi Police arrested seven people, including five women, who were living in India without proper documents. They found these illegal migrants in South Delhi near Arjangarh Metro Station, and the police reported this on Sunday.
Ankit Chauhan, a police official, mentioned that this effort is part of a campaign to find illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Last week, they caught five others, making it a serious concern for law enforcement. The arrested individuals were using fake Bangladeshi IDs and were either working on construction sites or looking for jobs in beauty salons.
The police conducted raids in slum areas and labor camps to catch these migrants. Two of the arrested were identified as Mohammad Umor Faruk, 33, and Riyaj Miyan, 20. They confessed to crossing the border illegally and had been living in Gurugram. The police verified their identities using documents and mobile phones and then transferred them to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office for further action.
This crackdown on illegal immigration has been happening since a recent order from Delhi’s lieutenant governor to find and penalize illegal immigrants over the next two months. Just last week, police uncovered a fake document racket related to this issue, where they arrested several people involved in making forged IDs to help migrants.
