In a recent development, three Bangladeshi women have been apprehended in Thane, Maharashtra, for staying illegally without valid documentation, officials confirmed on Wednesday.

The operation was executed based on information received by the Ulhasnagar Crime Branch, leading to their arrest in the jurisdiction of the Manpada police station. PRO Shailesh Salvi emphasized the ongoing nature of the investigation, highlighting the lack of necessary documents as the primary reason for the arrest.

In a separate incident, the Border Security Force (BSF) in Meghalaya arrested four Bangladeshi nationals along with three Indian individuals acting as touts near the international boundary. The BSF's vigilant response was prompted by specific intelligence, leading to the interception near the East Khasi Hills District. The individuals reportedly planned to illegally settle in India with local assistance.
