Five Bangladeshi nationals were arrested Friday for illegally staying here, police said. The illegal immigrants are suspected to have entered India about a year ago by crossing the border in Kolkata, the police said.

Based on a tip-off, a search was conducted and the five were arrested for not having any valid documents and immigration papers. The five were produced before a court, a police official told PTI.

He further said there may be some more foreign nationals staying illegally and a search is on. The five immigrants were said to be working for a slaughterhouse, the police official added.
