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.

Hyderabad (PTI): Soon after taking over as Malkajgiri Police Commissioner B Sumathi went undercover and took up a field visit after midnight on May 1 to assess law and order, including women's safety.

Sumathi assumed charge as the Malkajgiri Police Commissioner on May 1.

On the same night, the senior IPS officer, in plainclothes, moved through the streets of Dilsukhnagar here, standing alone for some time to get a first-hand knowledge of law and order situation, official sources said on Wednesday.

"It was a general checking and she later interacted with police officials," they said.

The sources said about 30-40 individuals who approached her were counselled regarding their behaviour towards women in public places.

Sumathi, who earlier headed the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB), of the Telangana Police, oversaw the long drawn process of the Maoists joining the mainstream.
