He said following sustained interrogation and verification, the detainee confessed to his Bangladeshi nationality and said he was from a village in Morrelganj, Khulna in the neighbouring country.
Upon further quizzing, he named six other Bangladeshi nationals residing in the Delhi-NCR area.
During the course of interrogation, officials conducted a raid in Laxmi Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Seemapuri, and Ghaziabad leading to the arrest of all the six immigrants named by Khan including a juvenile.
On the police action, the official said, “The detained will be produced before the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office), R K Puram, Delhi for their deportation process.” Dhania added.
A two-month-long drive against illegal immigrants was launched by the police last year in compliance with LG’s directive to take action against the foreign nationals illegally staying in the national capital.
