The Cyberabad police are in a quandary about the identity of nearly 70 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants who obtained Indian passports and Aadhaar cards from Bodhan in Nizamabad district.
While three of them Sanjib Dutta, Mandal Sandip and Ramu Das who were detained by the officials of Bureau of Immigration, and were later arrested by the Cyberabad Police, the rest remain largely unidentified, with their real names, religions, and current residence eluding police.
One Parimal Bain, 31, who had migrated in 2015 from Bangladesh and settled in Bodhan, was identified as the agent who facilitated the process to help the 70-odd illegal immigrants secure Indian passports. After getting to know that three of his ‘men’ were caught, Parimal fled to Kolkata. However, Cyberabad police arrested him from there and was brought to the city.
