Delhi Police on Tuesday apprehended two Bangladeshi nationals from the Azadpur area of North-West Delhi, including one who had illegally re-entered India after being previously deported. Both individuals have been handed over to the concerned department for deportation proceedings.
Who Was Apprehended
The two individuals identified as Rahul Amin, 25, a native of Ashra village in Dhaka, and Jibon Miah, 36, from Hari Nagar village in the Brahmanbaria region of Bangladesh, were found residing in North-West District, Delhi without valid travel documents. Both were found carrying Bangladeshi identification, and their smartphones had the banned IMO application installed.
The Re-Entry That Triggered the Alert
According to police, Rahul Amin had previously been apprehended by the Foreigner Cell in June 2025 and subsequently deported. He allegedly re-entered India illegally and was traced again near Mahendra Park in North-West Delhi. This marks a serious breach of deportation protocols and raises questions about border surveillance gaps that have allowed previously deported individuals to return.
How Police Tracked Them Down
The operation was based on a specific intelligence input. The police team conducted detailed surveillance and, acting on information from an informer, nabbed both individuals from the Azadpur area near Mahendra Park. Jibon Miah was reportedly working as a cook, and both were found to be living together in the locality.
Alleged Criminal Activity
During interrogation, the two individuals allegedly disclosed that they disguised themselves as transgender persons during night hours to attract customers, and then reportedly used chilli spray to rob them of their belongings. One chilli spray was recovered from Rahul Amin's bag, according to police. These disclosures are based on statements made during interrogation and have not yet been independently verified.
Deportation Proceedings Under Way
Both individuals were produced before the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO), and deportation proceedings have been initiated in accordance with established legal procedure. This comes amid a broader national focus on identifying and removing undocumented migrants, particularly from Bangladesh, with multiple state police forces having stepped up operations in recent months. The case underscores the need for a more robust post-deportation tracking mechanism to prevent illegal re-entry.
Point of View
And this incident suggests that system has a visible hole. Delhi Police's Foreigner Cell has been active, but operational success at the arrest stage means little if the back-end — border surveillance, biometric flagging, inter-agency coordination — cannot hold the line. With illegal migration from Bangladesh a recurring political flashpoint, the Centre faces pressure to demonstrate that deportations are durable, not just headline-generating.
