13 more suspected illegal Bangladeshis detained
"We have identified a total of 14 Bangladeshis who were staying illegally in different areas of the city. All of them were detained under The Foreigners Act, 1946," said police commissioner Narasimha Komar.
Police said that illegal migrants usually mix among the residents in crowded localities, making it difficult to identify them.
Many of the Bangladeshis staying illegally in the city did various jobs such as electricians. The rural police also identified and detained two Bangladeshis from Bharuch. |

Bangladesh says ready to cooperate with Malaysia in terror investigation
Bangladesh has expressed its readiness to cooperate with the Malaysian authorities in the terror investigation into the arrest of dozens of Bangladeshi nationals in Malaysia on alleged militancy charges. Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement here Saturday that the Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur has engaged with relevant Malaysian authorities, which announced last week the arrest of some Bangladeshis for alleged involvement in a radical militant movement. The ministry said the Bangladesh High Commission will extend necessary support to the expatriate Bangladeshis wherever needed, reported Xinhua news agency. "Bangladesh once again reiterates its firm stand against all forms of terrorism, violent extremism and militancy, and it remains ready to extend full cooperation to the Malaysian authorities in this regard," it said. Of the arrested individuals, according to the statement, formal charges have been filed against five in Malaysian courts. The rest are in the process of either further investigation or deportation, it mentioned. Last week Malaysia's Ministry of Home Affairs, mentioned that the planned security operation to nab Bangladeshis began on April 24 and was carried out in three phases in the states of Selangor and Johor. 'In the operation, five of them were identified as being involved under Chapter VIA of the Penal Code and have already been charged in the Shah Alam and Johor Bahru Session Courts. Another 15 individuals have been issued deportation orders while 16 individuals are being investigated further regarding their involvement in this militant movement,' read a statement issued by the Home Ministry on Saturday. 'As a result of intelligence and coordinated action by the Special Branch Team, PDRM found that this group was bringing extremist beliefs based on the Islamic State (IS) ideology into the country They even established recruitment cells within their communities for the purpose of indoctrinating radical beliefs, collecting funds for terrorist activities, and toppling the legitimate government in their home country,' the statement added. Malaysia's Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail emphasised that the country will not become a refuge, let alone a battleground, for any foreign extremist movement.

Detained in Delhi days ago, ‘Bengal family' of three pushed into Bangladesh
IN A fresh incident, a family of three, including their minor son, was detained in Delhi as 'illegal Bangladeshis' and then finally 'pushed into the neighbouring country,' their relatives said. The relatives claimed that the family hails from Birbhum in West Bengal. A senior police officer in Delhi said that Danish Sheikh, his wife Sunali Khatun and their minor son have 'all been deported to Bangladesh after proper verification'. This comes close on the heels of such detentions in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. Recently, a total of seven persons, hailing from West Bengal, were detained by the Mumbai police and pushed into Bangladesh by BSF at 3:30 am on June 14. Apart from four youths in Murshidabad, one from Purba Bardhaman, a husband–wife duo from North 24 Parganas district was brought back from Bangladesh after Bengal government's intervention. After intervention by the TMC government in Bengal, the individuals were brought back and sent to their homes. 'They all have been deported to Bangladesh on June 26 after proper verification at the local police level first and after that a thorough interrogation by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office office. They hail from Bagerhat, Bangladesh,' said Rajeev Ranjan, DCP (Rohini). 'This cannot be tolerated. This is happening every day. Despite showing all proof, including land records, this has happened,' claimed Samirul Islam, chairman of the migrant labour welfare board and Rajya Sabha MP. 'Our government has intervened, but the administration in BJP-ruled states and in Delhi are not paying heed. We will move to court on Monday and appeal to the court to produce them before the judge. Is it a fault to speak in Bengali outside Bengal?' claimed Islam. According to the family members, Sheikh, his wife Sunali and their minor son were picked up by the police and taken to a police station in Delhi. The family members claimed they (Sheikh and his wife) belong to Paikar village under Muraroi police station limits in Birbhum district. 'They are migrant labourers who have been working as ragpickers in Delhi for the last 20 years. They were picked up by the police on July 18. All documents, including land deeds, were provided to the police. But they didn't budge,' said Roshni Bibi, a cousin of Sunali, speaking to The Indian Express over phone from Delhi. 'Their second child, a girl, was not detained as she was with a relative in another place. We did not know what happened to the family until they called us from Bangladesh. They said someone has given them shelter there but could not specify the location,' said Roshni Bibi. 'They worked for several years in Delhi as ragpickers. Like most migrant workers, they visit their native village during festivities. They visited here and left for Delhi just one-and-a-half months ago,' said Rocky Sheikh, a cousin of Sunali and a resident of Birbhum. Ravik Bhattacharya is the Chief of Bureau of The Indian Express, Kolkata. Over 20 years of experience in the media industry and covered politics, crime, major incidents and issues, apart from investigative stories in West Bengal, Odisha, Assam and Andaman Nicobar islands.

‘Completely false': Delhi minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa refutes reports claiming he was fired at
Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday refuted reports claiming that he was fired at, saying they were "completely false". In a post on social media platform X, Manjinder Singh Sirsa said: 'There is a rumour going around about a firing targeting me. It's completely false.' A social media post claimed that Sirsa was fired at while he was visiting West Delhi's Khyala and Vishnu Garden areas. According to the Delhi Police, Sirsa was taking rounds in the Khyala area in the forenoon hours when a piece of metal, which looked like an empty cartridge from a distance, was found in a street. "After closer examination, it appears to be a part of a sewing machine. However, it is being further examined. Police have scanned the area and any kind of incident has been ruled out," said a senior police officer. Recently, Sirsa had sparked a controversy by calling slum dwellers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as 'Rohingyas'. Sirsa had said: "I want to tell Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi and AAP that you can protest as much as you want for Rohingyas and Bangladeshis, but we will not allow them to stay in this nation We will not get involved in any such politics that compromise the lives of people in Delhi." He also alleged that "they commit crimes everywhere" and "their establishments will be demolished". On June 30, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs, leaders and supporters held a protest outside the office of Sirsa in Rajouri Garden in New Delhi, alleging that he made a derogatory remark aimed at slum dwellers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and demanded his dismissal from the Cabinet. "Kejriwal ji has as much affection for Rohingya and Bangladeshi infiltrators as he has anger for those who oppose them," said Sirsa reacting to the protest.
