The investigation into the arrest of three Bangladeshi nationals found residing illegally in Mavoor town, Kerala, is expanding. Intelligence Bureau officers are questioning the accused to determine how they obtained forged identity documents and SIM cards. Authorities are also looking into possible connections to organized networks or other associates in the country.
The arrested individuals, identified as Mohammad Wulahusain, Mohammad Hasan Ali, and Mohammad Mehdi Hasan, face charges for illegal entry and residence in India. Investigators are exploring beyond the initial offense to uncover any additional links or local assistance the accused may have received.
A key focus of the inquiry is tracing the source of the forged documents and SIM cards recovered from the suspects. Police have seized their mobile phones and other items for forensic analysis to identify those involved in providing these materials. The trio reportedly disclosed during questioning that they had arrived in Kerala just 20 days prior.
Prior to their stay in Mavoor, the individuals had been residing in Edavannappara, Malappuram district. Authorities are now working to establish their activities during this period, including their work, accommodations, and interactions. Initial findings suggest that the three were employed as construction laborers.
Further investigations will involve questioning their employers to determine if they were aware of the men’s nationality and immigration status. The arrests were made following a raid at a labor camp based on specific intelligence inputs. The probe continues to focus on potential local support networks and any involvement in forged documents and illegal telecommunications.
