Jaipur police launches drive against Bangladeshi migrants

Jaipur police has launched a drive against Bangladeshi migrants, living here illegally and under fake names, after some of them were allegedly found involved in a dacoity case recently in posh Vaishali Nagar locality.
The drive began from Bhankhrota area here following directions from the Director General of Police, a senior official said.
"A door-to-door survey has been initiated in localities under Bhankhrota police station area to identify illegal Bangladeshi migrants, if found, legal remedy will be taken," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Karan Sharma told PTI today.
Many people in the locality have shown government identity cards, which would be verified from the government records to verify whether they are Bangladeshi or not, he said.

"They are showing us identity cards issued from places like West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh. We will check their records from the concern authority," Sharma said.
It is likely that some of them might have procured identity cards like voter ID or ration card through unfair means, and if such case comes to light, role of the issuing authorities would also be probed, the Additional DCP said.

The survey would be conducted throughout the city in days to come but focus mainly would be on the areas like Muhana, Jagatpura, Shivdaspura, and Kanota which are on the city outskirts, as most illegal Bangladeshi migrants reside there.

The officer said the survey won't be restricted to just checking their identity cards as such people get fake IDs.
We would be sending teams to cross check the details and even communicate with agencies in Bangladesh to verify the facts, he added.
"Illegal migrants get into garbage picking or other such jobs. They also commit crime and after which they flee to Bangladesh," he said.
Recently, members of a Bangladeshi gang, raped a woman and committed dacoity in Vaishali Nagar area in the city.
The police have arrested some members from Bangladesh who were staying on the outskirts before committing the crime.
