THANE: The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) apprehended five Bangladeshi nationals in Navi Mumbai for residing in India without valid documents. The operation took place in Ghansoli by the ATS Vikhroli unit.
"Acting on a tip-off, the ATS led the operation and arrested five Bangladeshis, who were found living in India without valid documents. They were nabbed from Janai Compound and near Shivaji Talao, both in Ghansoli," a police official said.
The individuals, Aahat Jamal Sheikh, Rebul Samad Sheikh, Ronney Soriful Khan, Julu Billal Sharif, and Mohammad Munir Mohammad Siraj Mulla, originated from two districts in Bangladesh and worked as masons in Navi Mumbai.
They were detained under the Foreigners Act, 1946, and the Passport (Entry into India) Rules, 1950, after a complaint by an ATS police sub-inspector.
The Rabale police in Navi Mumbai filed an FIR and detained the group, with an ongoing investigation underway.
