Delhi Police arrests 4 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants for running fake dollar exchange scheme

Thirteen Bangladeshi nationals were detained from south Delhi, while 11 illegal immigrants, including two minors, were detained from southeast Delhi, a police officer said, adding that the operation was launched on March 6.

The crackdown came days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a review meeting on the capital's law and order situation and instructed senior Delhi Police officers to adopt a swift legal approach while dealing with illegal immigrants.

The detainees were found in possession of national ID cards issued by the Bangladesh government, Joint Commissioner of Police (Southern Range), S K Jain, said, adding that upon entering India, they allegedly used local contacts to fraudulently obtain Indian identity documents.
