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.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday transferred the RG Kar Medical College trainee doctor rape and murder case to the Calcutta High Court.
The top court had taken suo motu cognisance of the case in 2024.
A bench of justices MM Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma directed that the case papers be sent to the high court.

The top court also directed that a copy of the status report be given to the parents of the victim.
The body of the postgraduate trainee doctor was found in the hospital's seminar room on August 9 last year. The Kolkata Police arrested Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, the next day.
On January 20, a Kolkata trial court awarded convict Roy "life term imprisonment till death" in the case. The crime triggered nationwide outrage and prolonged protests in West Bengal.
The apex court, even after the primary conviction, is monitoring multiple ancillary issues, including regularising the unauthorised absence of doctors.
While taking suo motu notice of the case, the bench constituted a National Task Force (NTF) on August 20 last year to formulate a protocol to ensure the safety and security of medical professionals in the wake of the crime.
