New Delhi, March 22
Delhi Crime Branch arrested three persons from Bangladesh including an Aadhaar card agent busting an illegal immigration syndicate.
The Crime Branch team conducted multiple raids and arrested the accused Mohd Iqbal alias Farhan from Nehru Place and Razeeb Miyan aka Amit Yadav and Mohd Momin aka Jitender Yadav from Badarpur Border.
While addressing the media. DCP (Crime Branch) Aditya Gautam stated that accused Mohd. Iqbal Hossain, a Bangladeshi national assumed a fake identity and had been living as Farhan Khan in Delhi for several years, has been accused of illegally trafficking several Bangladeshi nationals to the capital via Assam to join him in his garment business. Since he is engaged in the business of selling garments in weekly markets and earning hefty profits, he needed workers, so he illegally trafficked several Bangladeshi nationals to Delhi via the Assam border with the help of human traffickers based in the NCR.
The crime branch arranged for a decoy with police personnel deployed as workers at the shops of Nehru Place and nearby areas. They learnt about Farhan, who ran a wholesale garment business out of Jamia Nagar.
The team also seized incriminating material, including Indian Passports, Voter IDs, Aadhaar and PAN Cards, driving licenses with Indian names as well as their Bangladeshi documents and mobile phones having vital evidence.
The official added that Razeeb and Momin allegedly told police that they came to Delhi via Assam, after illegally crossing the border from Bangladesh. Their fake Aadhaar cards were arranged for by a man they identified as Agrasen Kumar. They then started working for Hossain aka Farhan. Kumar was later arrested from Okhla, said police.
Speaking about the accused, DCP Gautma added that Hossain got out of Bangladesh in 2004, after working there in a rice mill for eight years. In 2004, he first went to the United Kingdom on a work permit for two years, where he worked in delivery services and restaurants. He stayed in the UK till 2009 and then returned to Bangladesh, where he ran a grocery shop in Sunamganj until 2016.
The crime branch added that an authorised person to create Aadhaar Cards is actively involved in this scandal with other associates.
