Continuing efforts against illegal immigration, authorities in Goa deported six Bangladeshi nationals who were residing without proper travel or immigration documents. The deportation, carried out through collaboration between the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) and the Border Security Force (BSF), followed established procedures. Since 2025, the Goa Police has facilitated the deportation of a total of 35 illegal Bangladeshi nationals, including men, women, and minors.
In a bid to curb illegal entry and overstay, the Goa Police, in coordination with relevant agencies, emphasized the need for public cooperation in verifying the documents of tenants and workers. Meanwhile, Bengaluru Police conducted a city-wide operation, questioning over 2,000 foreigners and detaining suspected illegal Bangladeshi migrants for verification. A similar anti-infiltration operation was also carried out in Mumbai, where 25 Bangladeshi nationals, including transgender individuals, were arrested for residing without valid documents in the Yari Road area.
Authorities in Mumbai reported detaining a total of 113 Bangladeshi nationals between January 1 and February 20, with 27 already deported. The police urged vigilance from the public and emphasized reporting any suspicious cases to the nearest police station or the Foreigners Branch.
