A Bangladeshi couple was arrested for the second time in Chhattisgarh's Durg district for illegal stay, according to local authorities. The police revealed that Mohammad Rasel Sheikh and his wife Shahida Khatun had previously been apprehended in 2020 for the same offense.
The Special Task Force identified the duo while searching for illegal Bangladeshi/Rohingya migrants residing in the state. The couple had masqueraded under false identities and were using fake Aadhaar cards. The investigation indicated that they had moved from West Bengal to Mumbai before settling in Durg.
Originally entering India illegally, they returned in 2017 on legitimate documents but extended their stay illegally. The couple faces charges under several legal statutes including the Foreigners Act, and further investigations are ongoing, police stated.
