Mumbai Police Busts Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrant Racket

Mumbai, February 9: The Mumbai police have launched a significant crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The Dindoshi police arrested a young man involved in a gang that was producing fake ration cards. Authorities seized 350 counterfeit ration cards along with a large number of fraudulent documents and electronic devices from the suspect’s possession.

The arrested individual has been identified as Sujal Dayal, 21, a resident of Virar. The Dindoshi police received a tip-off that he was preparing fake documents for individuals. Following this information, a police team raided his home. During the search, they discovered 350 fake ration cards that closely resembled authentic ones. These cards could have been used for identification and to access various government services. Additionally, police confiscated a printer, laptop, and other electronic equipment from the scene.

According to the Dindoshi police, the seized ration cards contained addresses from areas such as Vasai, Virar, Mira-Bhayander, Nalasopara, Dahisar, Borivali, Malad, and Kandivali. This raises suspicions that the network was operating on a large scale.

During police interrogation, the accused revealed that his father previously ran a fake ration card business. After his father’s death, Sujal took over the operation and gradually expanded its reach. Authorities suspect that a significant number of foreign immigrants, particularly those residing illegally, obtained fake ration cards from him to establish their identities.

After filing the case, the Dindoshi police presented the accused in court, where he was remanded to police custody until February 12.

Currently, the police are investigating who was placing orders for the fake ration cards, how many cards Sujal has produced so far, and who else is involved in this extensive network. The Mumbai police have stated that a thorough investigation is ongoing, and further arrests related to this gang may occur in the coming days.
