The Mumbai Police’s ongoing crackdown against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants continues, with the Crime Branch arresting three accused over the last three days. According to Crime Branch officials, the first two arrests were made on Thursday, after the Crime Branch Unit VI received a tip-off about an illegal immigration racket.

“Acting on the tip-off, we laid a trap near the Sewree Railway Station and arrested the first accused, identified as Akram Noornabi Sheikh, 26,” said a Crime Branch officer.  “Further investigation established that Sheikh, originally a Bangladeshi national, had crossed the India-Bangladesh border illegally.”
