New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) In a significant operation against illegal migrants, the Delhi Police on Tuesday apprehended two Bangladeshi nationals, including a woman living illegally, and handed them over to the concerned department for initiating deportation proceedings.

The two illegal migrants, named Rahul Amin and Jibon Miah, were nabbed from the Azadpur area of North-West Delhi recently. Rahul Amin (25) is said to be a native of Ashra village in Dhaka, while Jibon Miah (36) hails from Hari Nagar village in the Brahmanbaria region.

The duo was found to have Bangladeshi IDs, and their smartphones were also installed with a banned IMO application.

The police, during the investigation, found that Ruhul Amin had sneaked back into the country after he was deported from the country.

The North-West District police said that he was apprehended by the Foreigner Cell in June 2025 and subsequently deported. However, he illegally re-entered the country and was traced again by the Foreigner Cell, this time near Mahendra Park.

The police team acted on a specific intelligence input and nabbed the Bangladeshi nationals staying in Azadpur, near Mahendra Park. The police team conducted detailed surveillance and, at the instance of an informer, apprehended two illegal migrants from the area.

Both apprehended persons were found to be residing and operating in North-West District, Delhi, without valid travel documents.

During further interrogation, the apprehended persons disclosed that they used to disguise themselves as transgender persons during night hours to attract customers and allegedly used chilli spray on customers to rob them of their belongings. One chilli spray was recovered from Ruhul Amin’s bag.

Jibon Miah used to work as a cook, and both were found to be residing together.

According to police, necessary legal action has been initiated in accordance with the law. They were produced before the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO), and deportation proceedings were initiated in accordance with the established procedure.
