90 Bangladeshis with Fake IDs arrested in Mathura
In Mathura, the police detained 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including 22 children. They were caught with fake Aadhaar and PAN cards. The action is part of the drive to identify and deport illegal immigrants in the state. Other agencies are also investigating the case.
In a major operation, authorities apprehended 90 Bangladeshi citizens from Khajpur village, which falls under the Nauhjheel police station in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shlok Kumar stated that the operation was part of an initiative to authenticate the identity and legality of workers in the district's rural areas. SSP Kumar informed ANI on Friday, 'During the inspection of kilns in Khajpur village, about 90 individuals were identified as Bangladeshi nationals by the Nauhjheel police team. All have been detained and are undergoing questioning.'
The group consists of 35 men, 27 women, and 28 children. They mentioned arriving in Mathura 3-4 months prior, having previously resided in a neighboring state. Comprehensive investigations are underway, and other agencies have been notified and are questioning them as well. Previously, the Uttar Pradesh government had ramped up efforts to identify and deport Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators residing in the state.
Authorities have reported that measures have already been implemented against Pakistani nationals residing unlawfully, and similar efforts are now directed towards Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants. It has been discovered that numerous individuals are residing under altered identities in various districts of the state. Orders have been dispatched to District Magistrates, Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs), and Police Commissioners across all districts to accelerate the identification process.
In addition to this, efforts are being made to remove unauthorized and illegal constructions along the Indo-Nepal border. The CMO's statement indicates that Uttar Pradesh is the first state in India to have successfully repatriated all Pakistani citizens. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is personally overseeing the process of sending Pakistani citizens back to their homeland. Comparable measures have been implemented in various states nationwide in recent days.
