Mumbai: A Hawala racket was busted as the Anti-Terrorism Branch conducted raids at three locations in Mumbai's Kurar area on April 8.
During the operation, they seized Rs 12.5 lakh cash, multiple fake passports, 9 mobile phones, a laptop, an iPad, and extensive documents, including bank wire transfer records. Authorities are probing a possible terror funding angle in the operation.
Earlier in March, a joint operation conducted by the police and the Anti-Terrorism Cell (ATC) detained two Ugandan women from the Vakola area for allegedly residing in India without valid documents.
The detained women were identified as Nakayondo Rose (37) and Kemigisa Proscovia (26). According to police sources, the duo had been living in the Kalina area of Mumbai for the past few years but did not possess valid visas or necessary legal documents to stay in the country. Acting on specific inputs about their prolonged illegal stay, police carried out a targeted raid in the area.
Prio to that, in February, the Mumbai Police, in coordination with the Anti-Terrorism Cell (ATC), intensified their crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi nationals residing in the city, detaining more than 30 individuals over the recent week as part of an ongoing verification and deportation drive.
