In a significant crackdown on unauthorized immigration, the Mumbai Police have detained 16 illegal Bangladeshi nationals in multiple raids conducted across different parts of the city. These individuals were found residing in India without valid documentation, raising concerns over border security and illegal entry. The police action is part of an ongoing drive to identify and take legal action against foreign nationals living unlawfully in Mumbai. Authorities have intensified their efforts following intelligence inputs about illegal immigrants involved in various activities, including unregistered employment and potential security threats. According to officials, the detained individuals have been taken into custody for further verification, and legal proceedings are being initiated under the Foreigners Act and other relevant immigration laws. The police are also investigating whether these individuals were part of a larger network facilitating illegal entry into India. This operation highlights Mumbai Police’s commitment to strengthening law enforcement measures, ensuring national security, and curbing unauthorized migration that could pose risks to public safety.

The Supreme Court today, while refusing to quash the FIR against former Gujarat IAS Officer Pradeep Sharma for allegedly misusing official position to pass unduly favourable orders in a land dispute, granted him anticipatory bail.

The bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice PB Varale was hearing the challenge to the orders of the Gujarat High Court dated 12.12.2018 and 28.2.2019 where his plea for quashing FIR, registered in 2011 at Rajkot, for offences under S. 409, 219 and 114 IPC and application for anticipatory bail in that regard were rejected.

Sharma, as per the FIR, had in the capacity of a Collecto,r while deciding over an issue of forfeiture of land, had set aside the order of forfeiture and directed to restore the land in favour of the allottees knowing fully well that they were residing abroad and not cultivating the land. Thus Sharma was allegedly “acting against the interest of the Government and with a view to unduly favour the allottees, had passed the order with malicious intention, and thereby had committed the offences under Sections 409, 219 and 114 of the IPC.”
