Law enforcement authorities in Rajasthan's Ajmer district have apprehended a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national found wandering under suspicious circumstances around the bustling Dargah Bazaar area. The operation was jointly executed by the district police Special Task Force and the CID Zone Ajmer team as part of a targeted drive against foreign nationals staying in the country without valid travel documents and visas. Upon being stopped and questioned by the patrol team, the man admitted to being a Bangladeshi citizen living illegally in India.
Illegal Entry Route Across the Benapole Border
The detained individual has been identified as Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, also known by the alias Suman, hailing from the Netrokona district in Bangladesh. Preliminary questioning revealed that he entered Indian territory by illegally crossing the international frontier without official clearance. According to information gathered by investigators, he crossed over via the Benapole border point in Bangladesh. Following his unlawful entry, he spent some time in Kolkata before boarding a train to Ajmer, where he had been living a nomadic lifestyle on the streets.
Interrogation Underway Over Local Network and Entry Links
Following his detention, the youth was transferred to the Dargah police station for intensive interrogation. Officers are working to reconstruct his exact travel timeline, determine when he reached Ajmer, and identify any local contacts he interacted with in the city. Investigators are also probing whether any local syndicates, touts, or acquaintances assisted him in crossing the border, securing transportation, or remaining undetected in the region. Thorough investigations regarding his unlawful border crossing and unlawful stay remain in progress.
Targeted Drive Sees 60 Detentions Across Ajmer
The ongoing enforcement drive to identify and verify undocumented foreign residents is being conducted under the direct supervision of Superintendent of Police Harsh Vardhan Agarwalla. This latest apprehension marks the 26th major action executed under the district-wide operation. Officials confirmed that a total of 60 Bangladeshi nationals living without valid documentation have been rounded up across Ajmer district so far. The police administration stated that strict screening and verification measures will continue unabated across sensitive localities.
