The Delhi Police deported eight Bangladeshi nationals — a man, his wife, and their six children — who had been residing illegally in the Rangpuri area of the national capital, an official said on Sunday.

According to news agency PTI, the family from Kekerhat village in Madaripur district of Bangladesh, had been living in Delhi under false identities after entering India through unofficial routes. The police said the man, Jahangir, admitted to destroying their Bangladeshi identification documents to conceal their origins.
