NIA takes over probe into Illegal Bangladeshi infiltration case from Delhi Police, begins investigation

NIA registers fresh FIR, widens probe into syndicate facilitating illegal Bangladeshi immigration into Delhi, following MHA directives.

"deeper conspiracy involving Bangladeshi nationals - Delhi Police"

New Delhi, January 13

The National Investigation Agency has taken over the investigation into a major illegal Bangladeshi immigrant infiltration case that was earlier being probed by the Delhi Police's Special Cell, officials said on Tuesday.

The central agency has begun its investigation and is expected to widen the scope of the probe by tracing the entire syndicate involved and following the money trail linked to the network.

Officials, privy to the development, told ANI that the NIA has also registered a fresh First Information Report (FIR) in the case as part of its takeover of the case from the Delhi Police last week.

The move comes in line with directions from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to crack down on organised networks facilitating illegal immigration and posing potential security concerns.

The case, described as a "deeper conspiracy" involving Bangladeshi nationals, was initially registered by the Delhi Police's Special Cell during a large-scale crackdown on illegal immigration in the national capital. Earlier, the Delhi Police had lodged at least two FIRs alleging a larger conspiracy behind the influx of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants into Delhi.

Multiple units of the Delhi Police were tasked with investigating various aspects of the network. These included routes of illegal entry into India, syndicates involved in forging identity documents, individuals providing accommodation, and agents facilitating employment for illegal immigrants.

Officials said the Delhi Police FIRs were aimed at exposing the organised structure enabling illegal migration from Bangladesh into Delhi and identifying key operatives involved at different levels.

With the NIA now in charge, the investigation is expected to focus on uncovering interstate and cross-border links, funding channels, and the wider conspiracy behind the racket.

While security is important, we must also remember the human aspect. Many come here out of desperation. The investigation should be firm but fair, and not lead to harassment of genuine poor migrants or even Indian citizens who look a certain way. 🙏

Good move by MHA. Delhi Police can handle street crime, but for something with potential national security and cross-border links, you need a central agency like NIA. The document forgery racket needs to be smashed completely.

As someone living in a colony with a lot of new residents, this is a daily concern. Rent prices are affected, and there's always uncertainty. Hope the probe is thorough and brings long-term solutions, not just short-term arrests.

The real culprits are the agents and the people providing accommodation/ jobs. They create the pull factor. NIA should expose them and there should be very harsh punishment. This is about our sovereignty.

I have a respectful criticism. While NIA taking over is fine, we've seen many such crackdowns before. What we need is a consistent, transparent policy and better border management. These sporadic actions don't solve the core issue.
