Araria, Bihar: A Bangladeshi national was handed over to the police by the local village head (Mukhiya) in Araria district, Bihar. The individual, identified as Mohammad Nawab, had been living illegally in India for the past three years.
Nawab not only illegally crossed the Indian border but also used forged documents to obtain an Aadhaar card and a voter ID card. During this period, he married a local Muslim girl and applied for an Indian passport in an attempt to secure Indian citizenship.
Nawab fraudulently created his Aadhaar card about four months ago, using his father-in-law’s name in place of his father’s name. Shockingly, in his voter ID, he listed his wife’s name in the place of his father’s name, raising serious questions about how such errors could occur in Indian official documents.
After crossing into India from Bangladesh, Nawab initially sought refuge in Semapur, Katihar, before settling in a village in the Rampur Kodarkatti Panchayat of Araria. There, he married a Muslim woman from a local family, using the marriage as a means to infiltrate Indian society.
This case is not an isolated incident; there have been numerous instances where Bangladeshi nationals illegally entered India, targeting local girls, particularly from minority communities, to marry and gain legal status through fraudulent means.
This case exposes a dangerous pattern where Bangladeshi infiltrators misuse fake documents to not only obtain Indian citizenship but also exploit local communities by marrying Indian women.
Many such cases have been reported, where infiltrators primarily target women from Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and other minority communities, further exacerbating concerns about national security.
To further solidify his claim to Indian citizenship, Mohammad Nawab applied for an Indian passport. While his documents were being verified by the Nagar Thana police, Nawab suggested verifying his papers through the local Mukhiya, Pummy Devi.
During the verification process, Mukhiya and her husband Rajesh Singh became suspicious and questioned Nawab thoroughly, leading to the revelation of his true identity. Nawab confessed that he hails from the Chapai Nawabganj district in Bangladesh and had crossed the Indian border illegally three years ago.
Following this revelation, the Nagar Thana police took Nawab into custody, where he is currently being interrogated. Intelligence agencies have also begun investigating the case.
While the police are refraining from making public statements at this time, the incident underscores the growing threat posed by illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators to India’s national security.
The increasing threat of Bangladeshi infiltrators is not only a matter of concern for India’s internal security but also highlights how these infiltrators, using forged documents, can assimilate into society and engage in criminal activities.
The case in Araria serves as a poignant illustration of a broader, alarming trend, highlighting how infiltrators exploit systemic vulnerabilities to target marginalized communities. This incident underscores the urgent need for heightened vigilance and robust measures to safeguard national integrity. By the courtesy of Panchjanya.
