Mira-Bhayandar: Further tightening the screws on people who are staying in the country without valid documents, the anti-human trafficking unit (AHTU) attached to the Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar (MBVV) police arrested two more illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from Kashimira on Monday.
About The Case
Acting on a tip-off, AHTU personnel led by police inspector Devidas Handore laid a trap adjacent to the New Salasar Orchid Tower in Kashimira and rounded up the suspects at around 4 pm. When questioned, the suspects failed to produce any legitimate documents to validate their stay in India.
The duo who confessed to illegally entering into India from Bangladesh were arrested and an offence under the relevant sections of the Foreigners Act, 1946 and Passport Act, 1950 was registered against them at the Kashigaon police station.
Further investigations were underway.
In the wake of the arrest of an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant Mohammad Shariful Islam alias Vijay Das (30) for his involvement in the attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, the MBVV police have intensified their action to identify and arrest illegal immigrants in their jurisdiction.
