Delhi Police have stepped up their crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants to protect regional security and demographic integrity. On May 23, authorities apprehended a family of nine, including women and children, residing in Bharat Nagar, northwest Delhi.
The family had fled a brick manufacturing unit in Haryana's Mewat region, fearing arrest by Haryana Police. They had illegally crossed into India through the Cooch Behar border and were frequently moving within Delhi to avoid detection.
"All nine family members were handed over to Foreigners Regional Registration Office in RK Puram for deportation proceedings," police officials confirmed.
During the operation, police recovered a smartphone equipped with the banned IMO app, which the family used to communicate with relatives in Bangladesh.
"This operation is part of a broader initiative by the Delhi Police to crack down on illegal immigration, with the objective of safeguarding the security and demographic integrity of the region," a police spokesperson said.
This intensified enforcement reflects ongoing concerns about illegal immigration's impact on local security and social dynamics. The police continue to monitor and act against such activities to maintain law and order.
The operation highlights the challenges faced by authorities in tracking and managing illegal immigrants who often move frequently to evade detection, underscoring the need for coordinated regional efforts.
The Delhi Police's proactive measures aim to deter illegal crossings and ensure compliance with immigration laws, reinforcing the government's commitment to national security.
