Fifteen Bangladeshi nationals found living without papers in Gurugram's Bajghera area have been detained and sent to the detention centre in Manesar, police said. The group — 14 men and one woman — was picked up by the proclaimed offenders (PO) staff of Gurugram Police during an intensive checking drive in the Bajghera police station area.

Police said all 15 come from different districts of Bangladesh. When officers asked them for documents proving Indian citizenship, none could produce any, and a search turned up Bangladeshi identity cards, citizenship documents and other papers. None of the 15 had a valid visa, a passport or any government permit allowing a foreigner to stay in India, police said.

How police say the group reached Gurugram

According to police, the detainees said during questioning that they had contacted human traffickers working along the India-Bangladesh border. Police said touts brought them into West Bengal by risky routes — some by water, some by climbing over the barbed-wire border fence and some by crawling through underground pipes — and middlemen then helped them reach Gurugram, where they had been living in Bajghera.

Second such case in Gurugram within days

After completing legal formalities, the PO staff moved all 15 to the detention centre in Manesar, and police said legal action is being taken against them under the foreigners law and other related sections. Officials said the drive to trace foreigners living illegally in Gurugram and nearby areas, check their documents and deport those caught would continue, adding there would be no compromise on national security. It is the second such case in Gurugram within days: Haryana's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) recently detained 14 Bangladeshi nationals in the city in a separate operation.
