Maharashtra Police Arrest Bangladeshi Nationals Using Forged Indian Identity Documents
Authorities in Maharashtra have arrested multiple Bangladeshi nationals for allegedly using forged Indian identity documents to live in the state illegally. Mumbai Police detained six individuals accused of providing fake Aadhaar and other IDs, while the Nashik Crime Branch arrested two men living under false identities. These actions follow directives from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to verify suspected undocumented migrants. The arrests occur amid increased scrutiny of Bengali-speaking persons, with some cases involving disputed citizenship and deportations to Bangladesh.
