thebalanced.newsFive Bangladeshi Nationals Arrested in Delhi for Goa Dacoities After Multi-State Probe
Goa Police arrested five Bangladeshi nationals in Delhi for their alleged involvement in two dacoities in Goa last year, following a year-long multi-state investigation. The gang, linked to six accused, reportedly used a 'strike-and-vanish' tactic, committing crimes before fleeing across the border. The suspects were apprehended during an attempted dacoity in Delhi and brought to Goa for police custody. Investigations involved raids across several Indian states, with some accused previously detained in Goa and others receiving local support.
