Three Bangladeshi nationals detained in Delhi for re-entering India illegally after deportation
New Delhi, Mar 11 (PTI): Delhi Police has detained three unauthorised Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the outskirts of the national capital, an official said on Tuesday.
"As part of the special drive, three Bangladeshi nationals were recently apprehended by the Foreigner Cell for re-entering India illegally after deportation," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Sachin Sharma said.
The officer further said that the initiative follows instructions from the Delhi Commissioner of Police to bolster security and curb unlawful activities linked to unauthorised immigration.
On March 10, a tip-off led police teams to conduct raids in multiple areas, including PVC Market Mundka, Baba Haridas Colony, Sultan Puri, Beniwal Loha Mandi, Indra Jheel, and Hanuman Mandir Kamruddin Nagar, said the DCP.
Over 833 individuals were checked, and 267 were marked as suspicious. Among them, 174 claimed to be from West Bengal and 93 from Assam, with verification efforts still underway.
"Police received a tip-off about a covert group of illegal immigrants seeking shelter in Peeragarhi camp. A team from the Foreigner Cell intercepted three people moving discreetly near the Kali Mata Mandir. The suspects initially posed as West Bengal residents, but upon intense questioning, they eventually confessed their identities as Bangladeshi nationals who had re-entered India illegally after being deported earlier," said the DCP.
He added that the accused, identified as Safruddin (36), Ibrahim (38) and Sorab (46), are residents of Kurigram in Bangladesh.
The officer said that following their confession and verification of details, the authorities initiated deportation procedures through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

Sujit Nair raises concerns over speculation of DMK-AIADMK understanding to block TVK
Chennai: Journalist and political commentator Sujit Nair has expressed concern over speculation that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam could explore a post-poll understanding to prevent Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam from forming the government in Tamil Nadu.
In a social media post, Sujit Nair said the election verdict in Tamil Nadu reflected a clear public demand for political change and argued that the mandate should be respected irrespective of political preferences.
Referring to reports and political discussions surrounding a possible understanding between the DMK and AIADMK, he said he hoped such developments remained only speculative conversations and did not turn into reality.
Nair stated that if such an alliance were to take shape, it would raise serious questions about ideological politics in the country. He said TVK had emerged through a democratic electoral process and that the legitimacy to govern in a parliamentary democracy comes from the people’s verdict.
According to him, attempts to prevent an electoral winner from forming the government through unexpected political arrangements may be constitutionally valid, but many people could view them as politically opportunistic.
He further said that such a move could particularly affect the political image of the DMK, which has historically projected itself around ideology, social justice and opposition politics. Nair said that in ideological terms, the DMK appeared closer to TVK than to the AIADMK, and joining hands with its long-time political rival only to remain in power could weaken its broader political narrative.
He added that the same questions would apply to the AIADMK as well, as the party had spent decades positioning itself against the DMK and such an arrangement could create discomfort among its cadre and supporters.
Drawing a comparison with Maharashtra politics in 2019, Nair said he had expressed similar views when the Shiv Sena formed an alliance with the Indian National Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party after the Assembly elections.
He said post-poll alliances between long-standing political rivals often create a public perception that ideology and electoral mandates become secondary when political power equations come into play.
Nair also said such developments increase public cynicism towards politics and reinforce the belief among voters that ideology is often sidelined after elections.
He maintained that the Tamil Nadu verdict was emphatic and said respecting both the spirit and substance of the mandate was important for the credibility of democratic politics.
