Pakistani national arrested with family for staying illegally near Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Sep 30: A Pakistani national was arrested along with his wife and two others who were allegedly living illegally with fake identities for the past six years, police said on Monday.
According to a preliminary inquiry, his wife is from Bangladesh and they were earlier in Dhaka, where they got married.
The couple allegedly came to Delhi in 2014 and later shifted to Bengaluru in 2018. The two others arrested are his in-laws. They were taken into custody following a raid conducted in Jigani on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Sunday.
"Our Jigani Inspector investigated a matter and registered a case. Four people of a family were residing here illegally with the help of fraudulent documents. Now, a case has been registered and those four people are being interrogated. Based on the outcome of the interrogation, we will take further action," a senior police officer said.

They have been staying at a rented house in Jigani for the past six years, and allegedly got identity documents with fake names, he said.
The police are interrogating the man about his network and activities.
"We have collected details about them and are investigating the case. They were supplying materials to a garage but that needs to be investigated," he said.
When asked about "seizures" from their house, the officer said: "It is part of the investigation."
Speaking to reporters here, Home Minister G Parameshwara said that they are being investigated.
"How did they come? Why did they all come ? All these will be investigated. If they had been in India for the past 10 years... if this is true why the Intelligence Agencies could not track them? They even went up to the extent of getting a (Indian) passport... in that case (obtaining) Aadhaar is nothing for them. They changed their names and were running a restaurant also," Parameshwara said.

Maharashtra excise dept cancels liquor permit for Diljit Dosanjh's Pune concert
Pune, Nov 24: The Maharashtra excise department on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving alcohol at actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert in the Kothrud area of Pune later in the evening, an official said.
The department cancelled the permit after people from different quarters, including Kothrud's newly elected BJP MLA Chandrakant Patil, objected to plans to serve liquor at the programme.
State excise commissioner C Rajput said, "The state excise department has cancelled the permission to serve liquor during the programme."
MLA Patil raised an objection against the concert scheduled at Kakade Farm in Kothrud later in the evening.
The BJP leader, in a statement, said, "Such shows are not part of the city's culture. This will create a major disturbance for residents of the area. The event will also cause traffic jams. Hence, I have urged the city police commissioner to cancel the programme."
