This came from the BJP government in Gujarat.
In a major crackdown, 250 illegal Bangladeshi nationals were deported from Gujarat to Dhaka. The deportation was carried out from Vadodara Air Force Station using a special Indian Air Force aircraft, amid tight security arrangements.
All the Bangladeshi nationals had their hands cuffed during the transfer to prevent any untoward incidents, sources said.
They were brought to the airport under police escort in buses from different parts of the state. This action is part of a larger crackdown against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants living in the western state.
Over the last two months, more than 1,200 Bangladeshi nationals residing illegally in the state have been identified and deported. The state government, in coordination with central security agencies, is intensifying efforts to remove all unauthorised foreign nationals.
The operation has been most active in major urban hubs such aAhmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot. These cities have seen a noticeable increase in the number of undocumented migrants, prompting police and intelligence agencies to step up surveillance and verification.
As part of the campaign, authorities are conducting thorough document checks to identify individuals staying in India using fake identification papers. Many of the detained individuals were found in possession of forged Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and other identity documents.
Based on local intelligence and surveillance reports, police teams have carried out multiple raids across suspected neighbourhoods. These efforts have led to the detention of hundreds of illegal residents in recent weeks.
The Gujarat police, along with central agencies, have indicated that similar operations will continue in the coming weeks. Authorities have urged citizens to report suspicious activities and help ensure national security by cooperating with the verification drives.
In another western state (Rajasthan) - also under BJP rule - The first batch of 148 Bangladeshi nationals was transported to Jodhpur and flown to Kolkata on Wednesday (May 14, 2025). From there, they will be deported to Bangladesh.
