The crackdown on illegal immigrants is in line with the response to growing concerns over the unauthorized stay of foreign nationals, particularly Bangladeshi migrants.

The action was prompted by local intelligence and continuous monitoring by the local police.

As per the police data, between December 27, 2024 and now, a total of 134 Bangladeshi nationals, including 38 women and 43 children, were apprehended, stated Ankit Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South).

Chauhan said, “The detained will be produced before the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office), Delhi’s R K Puram, for their deportation process. Background checks are also being conducted to rule out any criminal links.”
