Delhi Police uncover illegal Bangladeshi immigration racket, 11 arrested

A murder investigation led the Delhi Police to bust an organised syndicate facilitating the infiltration of Bangladeshi nationals into India. The probe resulted in the arrest of 11 individuals, including four Bangladeshi illegal immigrants who entered India through jungle routes and travelled to Delhi by train, using AC classes to avoid detection.

The syndicate provided fake Aadhaar cards, temporary SIM cards, and cash for travel expenses to the Bangladeshi nationals. The investigation began when a woman reported her husband, Sentu Sheikh alias Raja, lying unconscious at their residence. He was later declared dead at a local hospital.

During the probe, four Bangladeshi nationals were arrested, revealing that they had planned the murder due to threats from the deceased. Further questioning exposed their illegal entry into India and residence in Delhi’s Sangam Vihar area using fake Indian IDs.

The police found 21 Aadhaar cards, 4 Voter ID cards, and 8 PAN cards meant for Bangladeshi nationals at the deceased’s residence. This led to another case being registered, focusing on the creation of fake Indian documents and routes for illegal immigration.

The accused revealed that they obtained fake Aadhaar cards through ‘Poonam Online Computer Centre’ in Rohini, Delhi, owned by Sahil Sehgal. Sehgal’s interrogation exposed his role in generating fraudulent birth certificates using the fake website ‘Jantaprints.site’.

Further arrests included Ranjit, Afroz, Mohd. Chand, Saddam Hussain, Deepak Mishra, and Sonu Kumar, all involved in the syndicate. This case highlights the ongoing issue of illegal immigration and the need for continued efforts to combat such organised crime.
