Strong possibility of a large network operating to settle Bangladeshi infiltrators in Maharashtra and across India

Mumbai – In 2024 and 2025, a total of 868 Bangladeshi infiltrators were found at over 80 different locations in Mumbai. Additionally, 723 Bangladeshi infiltrators were found in Navi Mumbai, Thane, Mira-Bhayandar, Panvel, Nagpur, Nashik, Pune and Nanded. Over these two years, 1,237 Bangladeshi infiltrators have been found across Maharashtra.

Although the Police have taken all these infiltrators into custody, the discovery of Indian citizenship documents in large numbers in their possession is even more alarming. This strongly indicates that a large organised network is operating to settle Bangladeshi infiltrators not only in Maharashtra but across the country, with the active assistance of certain officials within the Administration. The sheer spread of infiltrators across every corner of Mumbai shows that Mumbai is a preferred destination for these infiltrators.

Important documents considered as proof of Indian citizenship such as birth certificates, voter cards, Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, driving licences, passports, voter identity cards and ration cards have been found in the possession of Bangladeshi infiltrators. These documents were obtained using forged papers.

Editorial Perspectives :

The discovery of such a large number of Bangladeshi infltrators in Maharashtra is, in effect, a failure of investigative agencies. The fact that infltrators possess Indian citizenship documents clearly indicates deep-rooted corruption within the Administration. The Government must take strict action against officials who are weakening the Nation from within.
