All 28 apprehended migrants have been placed at a Temporary Detention Centre, where further necessary legal formalities for their deportation are actively underway.

As of now, a total of 235 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have been deported, and the deportation process for the recently apprehended 28 individuals is in progress.

Earlier, a team from the Operations Cell, South West District, detained two illegal Bangladeshi migrants who had been living in India without valid visa documents for the past two years, police said.

According to officials, the deportation process has been initiated with the assistance of the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Delhi, after all formalities have been completed.

Police identified the detainees as Md. Abdulaziz Mian (46), a resident of Sakhipur, Tangail district in Bangladesh, and Md. Rafiqul Islam (29), a resident of Kaliganj, Gazipur district in Bangladesh.

'During the exercise, secret information was received regarding an illegal Bangladeshi migrant seeking accommodation in the Mahipalpur area. Acting promptly, the team reached the spot, identified two suspects with the help of the informer, and conducted a thorough enquiry. On demanding valid visa and travel documents, both individuals failed to produce any, and admitted that they had entered India about two years ago but overstayed after expiry of their visas,' the police said in a statement.
