Karnataka Police arrest six Bangladeshi nationals with fake IDs in Chitradurga

Six individuals identified as Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended on Monday from Chitradurga city in Karnataka. The arrests were made during a routine patrol by local police.
The detained individuals, Shek Saifur Rohaman, Mohammed Suman Husen Ali, Majharul, Sanowar Hossain, Muhammad Sakib Sikdar, and Azizul Shaik, were found in the 2nd phase of Dhavalagiri Layout, near Aravind Garments and White Wash Garments on Holalkere Road, under suspicious circumstances. Upon interrogation, it was revealed that they had illegally immigrated to India several years ago via West Bengal.
According to authorities, the individuals had procured fake Aadhaar cards, voter ID cards, labor cards, bank passbooks, PAN cards, and even a passport in Kolkata to facilitate their stay and employment in India. The documents were confiscated during the operation, and further legal proceedings have been initiated.
The group had recently moved to Chitradurga city in search of employment, working across various states to sustain their livelihood.
The operation was led under the guidance of Superintendent of Police and carried out by a team including CEN Police Station Inspector N Venkatesh, District Special Division Inspector N Guddappa, Chitradurga Fort Police Station Inspector Shri Doddanna, and Chitradurga Rural Police Station Inspector Shri Mudduraj.
Their efforts were supported by ASI RE Tippeswami, CHCs R Madhu, N Kenchappa, and Siddalingaiah Hiremath.
The Superintendent of Police has commended the team for their successful detection of the illegal presence of Bangladeshi nationals in the district. Legal action is underway to address the infiltration and use of forged documents.
Similarly, last month, eight Bangladeshi nationals who were staying illegally in Karnataka’s Udupi district were taken into custody. They were residing in Hoode village in the district for the past three years without valid passports or visas.
