The Kurar Police detained a Bangladeshi national after receiving confidential inputs about his movement within the Malad East area.

According to police sources, on February 2, 5 and 6, officer Rafiq Mujawar attached to Kurar police station along with the Anti-Terror Cell (ATC) team while patrolling within the limits of Kurar Police Station, received information about illegal Bangladeshi nationals from a reliable informant. The information said that a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India would be visiting areas such as Humera Park Garden, Tuba Hotel and Sahil Hotel in Pathanwadi, Kurargaon, Malad East.


Acting swiftly, the police team laid a trap at the identified locations and successfully apprehended the suspect, without giving him an opportunity to flee. He was taken into custody and brought to Kurar Police Station for further interrogation.



During questioning, the accused initially gave evasive replies regarding his identity and citizenship. However, sustained interrogation led to the revelation of details of other Bangladeshi nationals allegedly residing illegally in India, especially in the city.

The Kurar police caught four Bangladeshi nationals, Tuhinur Joynal Sardar, 30, who runs a chicken shop; Mohd. Abdul Momin Mohd. Latif Sardar, 52, businessman; Nazrul Islam Shore Ali Biswas, 41, scrap metal trader; Mohd. Imamul Haq Mohd. Taibur Rahman, 46, businessman.

During the investigation, police recovered Bangladeshi documents from the detained accused, including a Permanent Residency Certificate, Citizenship Certificate, and Bangladesh National Identity Card, confirming his foreign nationality.

Police officials stated that all the above-mentioned individuals have been confirmed as Bangladeshi citizens residing illegally in India. Following due legal procedure, action is being initiated after obtaining a Restriction Order for their deportation to Bangladesh.
