Two brothers from Bangladesh have
been arrested in Maharashtra’s Palghar district for illegally residing in the
area without valid passports and visas, as reported by an official on Monday.
Acting on a tip-off, the police visited the Chandansar Road neighborhood in
Virar on Saturday and discovered the two individuals staying there unlawfully.
The suspects, identified as Soheb
Mutalebi Shaikh and Rahim Mutalebi Shaikh, were unable to present proper
documentation for their stay in India.
They had been residing in the country
for approximately 10 to 12 years, working as laborers. Interestingly, they
managed to obtain Aadhaar cards through an agent.
During the investigation, it was
revealed that the brothers had fled poverty and unemployment in Bangladesh.
They successfully evaded a patrolling team in Hakimpur, West Bengal, and
eventually arrived in Mumbai via Howrah in search of employment opportunities.
Consequently, they have been charged under various acts, including the Foreigners Act, the Registration of Foreigners Act, and the Passport (Entry into India) Act.
In a separate incident, two
Bangladeshi nationals from Narail were arrested in Nerul by the Navi Mumbai
police for residing illegally in the country. The individuals had been living
without valid passports and visas in Nerul Gaon’s chawl for the past year.
The police apprehended them during a
routine inspection, and legal action has been initiated against them under the
Passports Act and Foreigners Act.
Furthermore, three individuals have
been reported to the Navi Mumbai police for allegedly employing minors as
laborers. The anti-human trafficking cell officials discovered that two garage
owners in Vahalgaon, Ulwe, had engaged two underage individuals, aged 16 and
17, in strenuous and hazardous tasks. These perpetrators are now facing legal
consequences for exploiting child labor.
