Doli Begum, 37, and Mariam Akhtar, 28, have been handed over to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office for deportation.
'Based on the information, a police team approached two individuals and asked for their identification documents. During the inquiry, the two women failed to show valid documents and revealed that they were illegal Bangladeshi immigrants who entered India in 2023 through the Bongaon (West Bengal) border by illegal means,' said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South West) Amit Goel.
'We found their Bangladeshi IDs in their cell phones,' he added.

Bangladesh in turmoil: Conflicting claims put army's role under scrutiny after deadly Gopalganj clashes
Chaos ensued in Bangladesh's Gopalganj with different political groups clashing with each other in former PM Sheikh Hasina's hometown. However, there are conflicting claims on what exactly happened with the Army's role under major scrutiny. read more Chaos ensued in Bangladesh's Gopalganj with different political groups clashing with each other in former PM Sheikh Hasina's hometown. Facebook - Movement For Bangladesh / Reuters On Wednesday, chaos ensued in former Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina's home in Gopalganj, with two conflicting stories on what actually happened. While Bangladeshi media reported that four people were killed in the clashes, human rights groups and workers of Hasina's party, Awami League, claimed that the death toll is nearly 21. It all happened when Nahid Islam's National Citizens Party (NCP) conducted a rally in Gopalgunj on Wednesday afternoon. As per Bangladeshi news outlets and NCP, the party's convoy was attacked at 2:30 pm (local time). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, the opposition argued that 'goons' from the NCP were creating a ruckus, and the residents only resisted. However, one thing that garnered attention in the whole ordeal was the army's intervention. While some called it important, others accused the Bangladeshi army of being biased. Here's a look at what the two sides are saying. Awami League worker accuses NCP and Jamaat of police brutality While speaking to Firstpost about the Wednesday incident, an Awami League worker, who asked to remain anonymous, narrated the police brutality amid the chaos, he claimed was started by NCP workers. During the conversation, the Awami League worker frequently referred to NCP as ' Jamaat-e-Islami's B-Team'. 'Around 23-24 people were killed. They were professional killers, contract killers. NCP is Jamaat's B-Team; even people from Jamaat were there. Some of them wore police uniforms,' an anguished Awami League worker told Firstpost. 'They are radicals; they intended to kill people. If this continues, it will lead to civil war,' he added. The party worker also shared multiple videos of police brutality, which he claimed were taking place in Gopalganj. However, Firstpost was unable to independently verify whether the videos were from the Wednesday incident and hence refrained from sharing them. 'They came here to kill people. There were many personnel at the rally, many soldiers from the army and 200 police officers. If things remain the same, people might retaliate, and this can cause further problems in the future,' the Awami League party worker exclaimed. A similar assertion was made by a group called the International Crimes Research Foundation (ICRF), which even flagged the Gopalganj incident in a letter to the United Nations Ethics Office. In the letter to the UN Ethical Office, ICRF argued that NCP leaders marched into Gopalganj with thousands of their followers, and the objective of the rally was to desecrate and demolish the graveyard of Bangladesh's Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'On 16 July 2025, a political group known as the Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP), which is neither registered with the Election Commission nor holds any legal status as an Electoral Political Party, marched into Gopalganj with thousands of its followers,' ICRF said in a letter to the UN. 'Their reported objective was to desecrate and demolish the graveyard of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman- a sacred and symbolic national site that holds profound emotional, historical, and political significance for our people,' the letter furthered. The ICRF noted that while the residents resisted the party workers, the Bangladesh Army deployed forces in support of the NCP. The group accused the country's army of using lethal weapons to open fire on 'unarmed civilians'. ICRF went on to demand an independent international investigation into the Gopalganj crisis. The group also urged the UN to hold the Bangladesh Army accountable under international law for any violations of human rights, including extrajudicial killings and torture. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What NCP and Bangladeshi authorities are saying However, the Bangladeshi media and the ruling regime painted a different picture of what went down on Wednesday afternoon. Multiple Bangladeshi news outlets reported that it was the NCP rally that was attacked in Gopalganj and not the other way around. NCP Convener Nahid Islam demanded the arrest of the culprits at a press conference in Kulna. He claimed that the attacks were carried out to kill him, The Daily Star reported. 'After concluding our rally in Gopalganj, we were heading towards Madaripur when armed goons of the Awami League attacked our motorcade,' Nahid said. Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus's press wing condemned the 'utterly indefensible' attack on leaders and activists of the NCP and said it will not go unpunished. Political parties, including BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, also condemned the attack. However, one whole day has passed, and the authorities maintain that only 4 people were killed in the clashes, which many human rights groups have been calling an underestimation.

After causing destruction in Pakistan, TTP is now spreading its network in this Muslim country, not Afghanistan, tension for India due to…
Representational Image Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been spreading terror in Pakistan for a long time. Its name has been linked to several terrorist incidents. Now, after Pakistan, this terrorist organization is increasing its presence in Bangladesh and also creating new concerns for India. TTP's New Plan In Bangladesh Recently, TTP has been actively recruiting new fighters in Bangladesh to spread terror. As Bangladesh shares borders with India, these activities of TTP can lead to future terrorist incidents that may also impact India. Therefore, TTP may become a threat to India's national security. According to an India Today report, at least two TTP recruiters were recently found to be traveling from Bangladesh to Afghanistan via Pakistan. In April, the Pakistan Army conducted an encounter with them. Last month, Malaysia arrested 36 Bangladeshi nationals accused of being in contact with terrorists. Why Is Bangladesh TTP's Next Destination? TTP primarily operates from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, planning attacks within Pakistan from there. Now, it is reportedly attempting to expand its reach into Bangladesh as well. During the political unrest in Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina's exit from power in August last year, extremism rose. In July, Bangladesh's Anti-Terrorism Unit arrested two individuals, Shamim Mahfuz and Mohammad Fojol, accused of having links with TTP. According to The Daily Star , Bangladeshi officials are running surveillance-based operations to monitor and counter such threats. Bangladeshi police are reportedly using the 2017-established 'Strategy for Countering Violent Extremism' to address these challenges. The arrests came after a report published by Bangladeshi digital outlet The District in May, which revealed that at least eight Bangladeshi nationals are currently active members of TTP in Afghanistan. TTP Commander Killed In Pakistan Last week, A militant commander of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) died when a bomb he was handling exploded while attempting to launch a quadcopter in Pakistan's northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to sources. The militant commander, Yasin alias Abdullah, was killed when a bomb accidentally fell while he was attempting to operate a quadcopter in Tirah Valley, Khyber district bordering of his associates were also injured in the incident, credible independent sources said. Yasin and his group had formally joined the banned TTP on May 24, they said. (With Inputs From PTI)
