Knowing that these people were from Bangladesh, one of them was also provided with a SIM card and a rented house. They have been charged under the Foreigners Act and the Passport (Entry into India) Act.'
Earlier in June, the Mumbai ATS had also captured Bangladeshi nationals staying illegally. The arrested individuals were not only living illegally but had also made their documents.

They had forged documents and had even voted in the last Lok Sabha election. Along with them, five others had escaped before the raid.
