TAN – ANI  | New Delhi | may 03, 2025:: In a major crackdown on cross-border illegal immigration, Delhi Police has dismantled an organised network that facilitated the entry and settlement of Bangladeshi nationals into India without valid documentation.

The operation, led by the Southern Range of Delhi Police, resulted in the detention of 47 Bangladeshi immigrants and the arrest of five Indian facilitators involved in the network.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Southern Range), Sanjay Kumar Jain said, “Delhi Police has been conducting a special campaign against illegal immigrants, especially those from Bangladesh. During this campaign, the South District apprehended 47 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. A detailed investigation led to the unearthing of the entire network.”

The alleged kingpin, Chand Miya, a Bangladeshi national, was found to be operating a well-organised trafficking network. He reportedly settled immigrants in Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, and Vijayawada, using fake documents and placing them in low-skilled jobs.
