New Delhi, March 18 Two Bangladeshi nationals, including one who had been deported from India earlier, have been apprehended in Delhi for alleged involvement in human trafficking and illegal stay, a police officer said on Wednesday.
The accused were caught on March 16 near the GTB Nagar Metro Station in Mukherjee Nagar, following a tip-off about the presence of a Bangladeshi national involved in trafficking activities, the officer said.
The main accused, identified as Robiul Mulla (45), a resident of Jessore in Bangladesh, was intercepted during a raid conducted by a team of the Delhi Police. During questioning, it was found that he had been deported from India in 2025 but had illegally re-entered the country.
Based on his disclosure, police apprehended a 38-year-old female accomplice from Bogra in Bangladesh, in the same area. Both were found to be residing in India without valid travel documents, the officer said.
During interrogation, Mulla told the police that he had facilitated the illegal entry of several women into India for unlawful activities.
The police said efforts are underway to trace other individuals brought into the country by the accused.
The police recovered two smartphones from the duo, which contained a banned messaging application. Images of a Bangladeshi passport and national identity details were also found on the phones.
The accused were produced before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), and deportation proceedings have been initiated, they said.
Further investigation is underway, the police added.
