Many of the arrested persons worked as labourers at the brick kiln. Fake identity documents were found with them. The police are examining the documents.

Inspector Dinesh Kumar of the Utawad police station said, during questioning, the arrested persons revealed that they had come to India from Bangladesh about 10 years ago by crossing the border illegally. They would soon be sent back to Bangladesh, he added.

“Action is being taken to deport them. If other illegal migrants are found anywhere in the district, they will also be deported,” said a spokesperson of the Palwal police.
