Recently, shocking news has come to light, 41 Bangladeshis who were coming illegally for the last 2 years were arrested in Murshidabad. According to the police, all the arrested persons admitted that they had entered India without valid documents. Of these, 40 people are residents of the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh, while one person is from Chapainawabganj.
According to sources, the police had received secret information that some people were working illegally at the construction sites of the city. Investigation revealed that all these people had entered India illegally from Bangladesh. To hide their identity, they were behaving like Indian citizens and were working at the work sites like normal laborers. The police raided and all of them were caught.
According to the police, they were crossing the India-Bangladesh border and coming to India illegally for the last two years. In this case, a case has been registered against them under section 144/14C of the Foreigners Act. During police interrogation, the accused admitted that they did not have any valid documents and they had been illegally entering the Indian border for the last two years. Sometimes these Bangladeshis entered India through Kanapara, sometimes Charalabnagar, sometimes Katlamari of Raninagar, and Birampur of Lalgola.
According to other sources, all these people came to India in search of work and worked as masons. Apart from Bengal, they have also worked in Chennai and Bengaluru. According to the police officer, with the help of two persons from the Bhagwangola police station area and one person from the Murshidabad police station area, these Bangladeshi citizens used to get work at various places in India.
However, there was a decrease in work during the monsoon and they were not getting the right wages, due to which they were deciding to return to Bangladesh. Based on secret information, the police arrested them and they appeared in court on Tuesday. All of them have been taken into police custody.
