Karnataka's Home Department has documented the identification of 771 illegal immigrants from Bangladesh over the past three years, marking a significant enforcement effort by state police. The data underscores growing concerns about irregular immigration into the southern state.
According to the department's records, Bengaluru city accounts for the bulk of identified cases, with 656 individuals apprehended within municipal limits. An additional 44 undocumented Bangladeshi nationals were found in Bengaluru district, indicating that the state capital remains the primary destination for irregular migrants from the neighbouring country.
The figures highlight the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in tracking and managing illegal immigration across state borders. The identification of these individuals has been carried out through routine police operations and immigration checks across various districts.
The data comes amid broader discussions about immigration policy and border security in the region. State authorities have been implementing enhanced screening measures to identify undocumented migrants and facilitate appropriate legal action or deportation procedures where warranted.
