Five Bangladeshi Nationals Held in Delhi for Illegal Overstay

 

 

According to police, the action began after local residents reported two men speaking in Bangla during a minor altercation, raising suspicions about their identity. A police team was formed to verify their documents and residential status.

 

During the investigation, the two men were found to be living in a rented accommodation in Indira Vikas Colony, Mukherjee Nagar, along with three other Bangladeshi nationals. Police have shared that all five had entered India legally through the air route on different dates but continued to stay in Delhi even after their visas had expired.

 

The five apprehended Bangladeshi nationals identify as Rahmat Ullah (23), Mohd Ashraful (23), Salman Bhuiyan (25), Md Rashel (37), and Md Rahim Mia (33).

The individuals were reportedly waiting for employment opportunities in Greece and had been staying illegally in Delhi since December 2025 while awaiting job offers or interview calls.

 

Further inquiry revealed that they had initially stayed at various hotels in Delhi before shifting to Mukherjee Nagar with the help of an associate from West Bengal. Police are now trying to trace and apprehend the associate for further investigation.

 

The five foreign nationals have been produced before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), and deportation proceedings have been initiated. Necessary legal action has also been taken in accordance with the law.

 

 

 

Delhi remains on high alert following intelligence agency warnings of potential terror attacks across crowded areas and key installations in the capital. With this kind of sensitive backdrop, monitoring such illegal stays becomes important from the ‘National security’ point.
