A Bangladeshi national illegally living in India for the past 19 years was arrested at the Mumbai airport while trying to fly to Saudi Arabia on an Indian passport, secured through fake documents, a police officer said on Wednesday. According to the officer from the Sahar police station, Aktaruzzaman Aman Ullah, had earlier stayed in Saudi Arabia on a work permit using his “Indian” identity. 

He entered India from Bangladesh through the 24 South Parganas district of West Bengal in 2006 and subsequently got bogus documents, and in 2015, he even got a passport, the officer said. The man lost his passport in 2018 but managed to get another one issued from Kolkata, he said. In 2020, Aman Ullah went to Saudi Arabia and spent five years there on a work visa.  He returned to India on May 18 this year and flew to Bangladesh on May 29.  After spending around a month, he flew to Mumbai on June 26. However, his luck ran out on Tuesday.


Finding that Aman Ullah had recently travelled to Bangladesh, the immigration officer sought to know the purpose of his visit. However, he could not respond satisfactorily and himself confronted to the immigration officer about his illegal stay. He told the officer that he was a Bangladeshi national and had been illegally living in India since 2006.
