Jaipur woman among 3 Bangladeshis arrested; cops allege fake Hindu identity
Jaipur Police have arrested three Bangladeshi nationals, including a woman who allegedly concealed her identity, posed as a Hindu and married a man from Rajasthan
Jaipur Police have arrested three Bangladeshi nationals, including a woman who allegedly concealed her identity, posed as a Hindu and married a man from Rajasthan after entering India illegally. Investigators are also probing whether the case is part of a wider network involving illegal immigration and forged identity documents. According to police, the woman allegedly lived under a false identity, applying sindoor and wearing a mangalsutra (rituals often followed by Hindu married women). She is said to have entered a love marriage with a resident of Rajasthan's Nagaur district in an apparent attempt to avoid suspicion. Read Full Story Senior police officer Rajarshi Raj said the three accused were arrested from different parts of Jaipur.
The woman, identified as Rubia, was arrested from the Narayan Vihar police station area, while Nadeem was caught from Mansarovar and Ashish Haldar from Sanganer Sadar. During preliminary questioning, all three allegedly admitted that they had entered India illegally from Bangladesh several years ago. The woman claimed she had crossed into India on the pretext of seeking medical treatment, while the two men said they had entered the country in search of employment. PASSPORT RECOVERED, AADHAAR UNDER SCANNER Police said the woman entered India through Assam before eventually reaching Jaipur. A Bangladeshi passport was recovered from her possession, but investigators found no valid immigration stamps or records showing legal entry into or exit from India.
Officials also recovered an Aadhaar card that is suspected to be forged. Investigators are now trying to determine who prepared the document and how it was procured. According to police sources, preliminary investigation has revealed possible links between Bangladeshi women arrested in Jaipur, Nagaur, Bhilwara and Ajmer. Investigators suspect that several of these women allegedly concealed their identities before marrying Hindu men in different parts of Rajasthan. Police are also examining whether some of them were brought to India by networks allegedly involved in prostitution. LARGER NETWORK BEING PROBED Police have not found or officially confirmed any evidence so far linking the accused to anti-national activities or an organised module.
Investigating agencies are examining whether the case is confined to illegal immigration and forged documents or points to a larger organised network. They are also probing whether the arrested woman was sent to India for any specific purpose. The three accused are being questioned, and police believe the investigation could lead to further disclosures in the coming days. Ends
