Maharashtra Police detained 16 Bangladeshi nationals in a raid targeting illegal immigration. The operation, conducted in Navi Mumbai, uncovered the individuals living without valid documentation. Preliminary investigations suggest they entered India via porous borders and were employed in low-wage jobs.
The police have intensified checks in border areas and urban settlements to identify illegal immigrants. Authorities are also working with the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure repatriation. This case underscores the challenges of managing illegal immigration and its implications for security.
