The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested 17 Bangladeshi nationals from four different cities in the state, including capital Mumbai, for illegal entry into India and staying without permission, officials said on Wednesday.

The arrests were made as part of a special drive, an official said.

“The ATS carried out the operation in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Nashik cities this week with the help of local police,” he said.

“At least 17 Bangladeshi nationals, comprising 14 males and 3 females, were arrested for entering India without permission and staying in the country without valid documents,” he added.

Ten separate cases have been registered against the accused under the Foreigners Act and other relevant laws, he said.
