A Bangladeshi national, identified as Ashrafulalam Rayhad Thalukther, has been apprehended in southwest Delhi for illegally entering India, police reported on Sunday.

Thalukther had resided in Mahipalpur for two months without the necessary Indian documentation. Acting on a tip-off, police detained and questioned him, where he admitted to entering the country illegally by crossing the border.

Upon verification, he was subsequently taken into custody and transferred to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office for deportation. This arrest is part of a broader drive against illegal immigrants launched last December by order of the Delhi lieutenant governor.
