The man hails from Nalanda district in Bihar. The arrests were carried out by a team from the Ambegaon police station, led by Senior Police Inspector Sharad Zine.
The officer said that a special branch of the Pune police was alerted by their counterpart in Hyderabad about a woman from Ambegaon who frequently visited Bangladesh. The police found that the woman obtained an Indian passport in July 2022. "We found that the woman was not staying at that address.
We traced the woman to another address. We also found one more woman and a man in that flat. The woman told us that she is an Indian national and showed us her Aadhaar card and PAN card.
Another woman, aged 38, also showed us her documents and told us that the man is her husband," the officer said.
He said that when the police team carried out searches in the flat, they found a Bangladeshi passport belonging to the 38-year-old woman.
"Both the women were sisters," he said.
The officer said that investigations revealed that the 30-year-old woman came to India in 2018, and her sister came to India in 2004. Both sisters were involved in prostitution. "The elder sister married a man from the Nalanda district in Bihar. The latter helped the sisters obtain Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and Voter IDs by submitting fake documents," the officer said.
He said that the younger sister obtained the Indian passport and frequently travelled to Bangladesh and other countries. "We have arrested the Bangladeshi women for staying illegally and the man for helping them obtain the documents," he said.

Marriage Proposal, Rs 3.6 Crore Fraud: Indian-Origin Man Cheats Pune Woman
Pune: An Indian-origin man based in Australia has been arrested by Pune Police for allegedly creating a fake profile on a matrimonial website and cheating a woman here of Rs 3.6 crore after promising to marry her. Police on Thursday also appealed other women who might have fallen prey to a similar fraud by the conman, who posed as 'Dr Rohit Oberoi', to come forward and file a complaint. The accused, whose real name is Abhishek Shukla and who hails from Lucknow but holds an Australian passport, was arrested at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday. "The woman, originally from Delhi and currently living in Pune, had created a profile on a matrimonial portal, seeking a life partner. The accused contacted her sometime in 2023, befriended her, and won her trust by promising marriage," said Pankaj Deshmukh, Additional Commissioner of Police (crime). The two stayed together at various locations in Pune and other parts of India. "The woman had received Rs 5 crore as alimony from her previous marriage and was in the process of setting up a business focused on mindfulness and spirituality programs for children. Learning about her financial status, the accused lured her into a fake business proposal, claiming he would help take her venture to the international level and arrange funding," Mr Deshmukh said. Mr Shukla allegedly introduced the woman to two of his 'associates', 'Yvonne Handayani' and 'Vincent Kuan' who purportedly lived in Singapore, and convinced her to transfer money to various accounts in India and Singapore. Over a period, the woman transferred Rs 3,60,18,540, said the police official. Later, the accused claimed to have developed oral cancer, and gradually cut off contact with her. "In September 2024, the woman received an email from 'Vincent Kuan' stating that 'Dr Rohit Oberoi' had died. Suspecting wrong doing, she informed a friend, who alerted her to the possibility of a found out that she had been conned, and approached the Pune cyber police station in November 2024," additional commissioner Deshmukh said. The police ascertained that the accused's real name was Abhishek Shukla, and he was a resident of Perth, Australia. A case of cheating was registered and a Look-Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him. On Wednesday, police received information that he was arriving in Mumbai from Singapore. A team led by sub-inspector Sushil Damre apprehended Mr Shukla at the Mumbai airport and put him under arrest. "Technical analysis of the accused's digital activity showed he had messaged at least 3,194 women using the fake identity 'Dr Rohit Oberoi' through the matrimonial site. The scope of the fraud may be much larger, and further investigations are underway," Deshmukh said. Senior inspector Swapnali Shinde of Pune Cyber Police, who is investigating the case, appealed to the women who might have been conned by the accused to contact police through email ID and phone number 7058719371/75.
