Gurugram (Haryana): Gurugram Police have detained 13 suspected Bangladeshi nationals for allegedly staying illegally in the city and have initiated the process for their deportation, an official said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Naveen Sharma said the Crime Branch had received information about a month ago that some Bangladeshi nationals were allegedly residing illegally in India and working as labourers at several locations in Gurugram.
“Acting on this information, the team detained 13 Bangladeshi nationals who were living illegally in the country. After their documents were verified, it was established that they had entered India unlawfully. Following this, proceedings for their deportation were initiated,” Sharma said.
He said the 13 detainees are being taken to Malda Town in West Bengal under the escort of an inspector and a team of 23 police personnel, where they will be handed over to the security agencies for further deportation proceedings.
According to Sharma, the detained individuals had been staying in different parts of Gurugram, working as labourers and living in rented accommodation.
The ACP also appealed to the public to cooperate with law-enforcement agencies by reporting individuals they find suspicious.
“We appeal to all citizens to help protect national security. If you come across suspicious individuals among tenants, labourers, domestic workers, hotel staff or construction workers, please report the information by calling 112 or contacting the nearest police station,” he said.
