August 03, 2023 01:00

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad has arrested nine Bangladeshi nationals who were staying illegally in the country in separate operations across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, an official said on Wednesday.

Among them, two Bangladeshi nationals were wanted in connection with a rape case registered at Navi Mumbai's Nerul police station in 2022, he said.

The operations at multiple locations and spread over a week were part of a drive against Bangladeshi nationals staying in the country without valid documents, said the official.

On July 26, a raid was conducted at Nerul village in Navi Mumbai where ATS officials nabbed a Bangladeshi woman.

She was wanted in a case registered by the Mumbai Crime Branch in 2009, he said.

Besides her, two men, wanted in the rape case, were also apprehended from the satellite city, said the official.

The next day, ATS sleuths conducted a raid at Byculla in the metropolis and arrested four Bangladeshi nationals wanted in a case registered under the Passport Act, he said.

In another raid, two citizens of the neighbouring country were apprehended from central Mumbai, the official said. -- PTI
