In a major operation, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested 13 Bangladeshi nationals who were staying illegally in India. The arrest comes as part of the state’s continued efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and enhance national security.
The suspects were found residing in various parts of Mumbai and surrounding areas without proper documentation. After months of surveillance, the ATS conducted coordinated raids and detained the individuals, who had reportedly entered India through unauthorized routes. The authorities are investigating whether these individuals were involved in any illegal activities, including potential links to terrorism or human trafficking.
The arrested suspects have been charged with violating immigration laws and face deportation proceedings. The Maharashtra ATS has emphasized that these arrests are part of their broader strategy to ensure the security of the region and prevent any threats from foreign nationals staying illegally in India.
The operation has sparked discussions about border security and the need for stronger measures to prevent unauthorized entry into the country. ATS officials have stated that they will continue to monitor such activities closely.
