Delhi police on Wednesday apprehended two transgender persons from Bangladesh living illegally in north-west Delhi’s Mahindra Park and were involved in “objectionable” activities. The deportation process has been initiated for the infiltrators, said police on Wednesday.
Stating that they have launched an operation to identify illegal immigrants in the locality, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North West) Bhisham Singh said, “On October 15, we received information regarding the movement of suspected Bangladeshi nationals near the New Subzi Mandi area. Acting on actionable intelligence, we conducted raids and found two suspicious persons.”
According to the police, the suspects admitted to their Bangladeshi origin during interrogation and presented their Bangladeshi identity cards and birth certificates.
“Interrogation revealed that they had homes in the Khulna and Barguna districts of Bangladesh. They had been communicating with their family members via the IMO application, which is banned in India,” the DCP added.
Police also seized their smartphones, which contained call logs to Bangladesh and photographs of Bangladeshi documents in their phone galleries. The deportation process has been initiated in coordination with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, the police said.
