39 illegal Bangladeshi nationals detained in Hisar's Hansi, to be shifted to Delhi camp

Police on Monday detained 39 Bangladeshi nationals for residing illegally in the Hansi area of Hisar district. According to police sources, the group includes 14 men, 11 women, and 14 children, all of whom were working at a brick kiln on Tosham Road. None of them possessed valid documentation to stay or work in India, they said.

Police sources said that during the initial probe, it was found that the individuals had illegally crossed the border from Bangladesh to enter India. A further investigation has been launched, and security agencies are also looking into the matter.

Police officials added that they are in the process of collecting all available documents related to the individuals, who will be sent to a designated detention camp in Delhi upon completion of the necessary procedures. The police conducted the survey based on secret information.

Hansi SP Amit Yashvardhan said that legal procedures are being followed in the matter and that further action will be taken once all documentation and related formalities are completed. According to sources, the detained individuals are currently being held in police custody.

The owner of the brick kiln, where the detained individuals arrived about a month ago, told mediapersons that some of the families possessed Aadhaar cards issued in West Bengal. He said he had brought them from Rajasthan for work at the kiln around a month ago, and added that a few other families had joined them just a couple of days ago.

Police and intelligence sources informed that a drive has been launched to identify any Pakistani or Bangladeshi nationals residing illegally in the region. Notably, last month, a 15-member family from Pakistan, who had been living in Balsamand village in Hisar, was sent back to the detention camp in Delhi.

In a related development, 14 illegal Bangladeshi migrants were recently caught working at brick kilns in Mahendergarh. They were found to be in possession of fake Aadhaar cards.
