The Mumbai Crime Branch has taken action against six Afghan nationals who were found to be living illegally in India using fake identities. The operation followed confidential intelligence indicating that Afghan citizens were residing unlawfully in the Colaba and Dharavi areas of Mumbai.
Tip-off Leads to Coordinated Operation
Acting on the intelligence input, two separate teams from Unit 1 and Unit 5 of the Crime Branch were formed to verify the information. After conducting discreet surveillance, police laid a trap and apprehended the six Afghan nationals from the Fort, Colaba, and Dharavi areas.
Fake Names and False Documents
During initial interrogation, the accused identified themselves as Mohammad Rasool Nasojoy Khan (24), Mohammad Jafar Nabiullah Khan (47), Akhtar Mohammad Jamaluddin (48), Zia-ul-Haq Mohammad Gausiya Khan (36), Abdul Mannan Wahid Khan (36), and Asad Samsuddin Khan (36).
However, upon detailed questioning and technical verification, the suspects admitted that they were Afghan nationals who had entered India between 2015 and 2019 on medical visas. They confessed to continuing their stay illegally after their visas expired by using false names and forged documents.
