According to officials, the arrested individuals had entered the country without valid documentation and were staying unlawfully. During the operation, several suspicious documents were also recovered from their possession, they added.
This comes after the police on Tuesday detained three unauthorised Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the outskirts of the national capital. "As part of the special drive, three Bangladeshi nationals were recently apprehended by the Foreigner Cell for re-entering India illegally after deportation," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Sachin Sharma said.
The officer further said that the initiative follows instructions from the Delhi Commissioner of Police to bolster security and curb unlawful activities linked to unauthorised immigration. On March 10, a tip-off led police teams to conduct raids in multiple areas, including PVC Market Mundka, Baba Haridas Colony, Sultan Puri, Beniwal Loha Mandi, Indra Jheel, and Hanuman Mandir Kamruddin Nagar, said the DCP.
