24 Illegal Immigrants Held in South and South East Delhi

On Wednesday, Delhi Police conducted a large-scale operation across South and South East Delhi, detaining 24 Bangladeshi nationals for illegal residency. The arrests included 13 individuals from the South District and 11 from the South East District. Documents recovered during the operation confirmed their illegal entry into India. Authorities are also examining the records of over 10 additional individuals in these areas to verify their immigration status.

On Tuesday, police detained five more Bangladeshi nationals from different parts of the city — two from Sadar Bazar and three from the Outer District — for illegal stay with forged or invalid documents.

Ongoing Verification And Crackdown

Delhi Police have been conducting regular verification drives to identify illegal immigrants. In March, a drive at Jai Hind Camp in Vasant Kunj involved checking identity documents and verifying records. This crackdown follows a directive from Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena in January to strengthen measures against illegal immigration. The LG also instructed Delhi Police to launch a public awareness campaign, urging residents to verify the identity of domestic workers and laborers for security purposes.
