In a significant operation against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, the Special Task Force (STF) of the Ajmer District Police in Rajasthan made a major breakthrough. On Wednesday, the STF detained three Bangladeshi women, including a mother-daughter duo, who had been living illegally in the region. What makes this case particularly alarming is that these women were living under false Hindu identities and had remarried to lead a normal life in Ajmer. With this recent operation, the number of Bangladeshi infiltrators arrested in the district has now reached 41. Authorities, including police and intelligence agencies, are conducting thorough interrogations to uncover the full extent of their illegal activities and networks.
Special Campaign Launched to Identify Illegal Immigrants
On the directions of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the Ajmer Police have initiated an extensive campaign targeting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Rohingya refugees. As part of this initiative, the STF and local police conducted raids across various areas of the district, including Dargah, the railway station, bus stands, brick kilns, and slum areas. During one such raid on Wednesday, three women were arrested from Kishangarh and Rupangarh areas, specifically from Sambhar, Moradi, and Barda Ki Dhani. Among the arrested, one woman named Anjali Devi (alias Sadiya) had used fake documents to remarry locally.
The Shocking Discovery of Fake Documents
According to police sources, these women had entered India illegally from various districts of Bangladesh and settled in Ajmer. Investigations revealed that the mother-daughter duo had used fake Indian identity cards, such as Aadhaar cards and voter IDs, to marry local residents and live a normal life. This discovery highlights the deceptive methods being used by Bangladeshi infiltrators to blend into Indian society using false identities and marriages.
Interrogation and Investigation Underway
The STF and intelligence agencies are currently interrogating these women to determine their illegal entry routes, the agents involved, and the gangs that manufacture fake documents. Police suspect that these women entered India through either West Bengal or Meghalaya, as seen in recent raids in other states. For instance, in March 2025, Delhi Police uncovered a human trafficking racket where Bangladeshi nationals were being settled in Delhi, Chennai, and Assam using fake documents.
Alarm Bells for Ajmer After Gujarat’s Crackdown
The crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi nationals in Ajmer gained momentum after Gujarat Police detained over 1,000 Bangladeshis in Ahmedabad and Surat in April 2025. Following this, Rajasthan Police were put on high alert. Ajmer Police Superintendent Vandita Rana informed that specialized teams had been set up in hotels, guest houses, and industrial areas to identify suspicious individuals and examine their documents.
A Growing Concern Over Illegal Immigration
This isn’t the first major action against Bangladeshi infiltrators in Ajmer. Earlier in May 2025, police conducted a large-scale check involving over 2,000 suspects, which led to the arrest of six Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in the district. On May 8, 2025, another Bangladeshi national was arrested from Dargah Police Station area, bringing the total number of arrests to 27. With the latest arrest of three women, the total has now risen to 41. Authorities confirmed that most of these infiltrators were working in brick kilns, small factories, and slum areas across the district.
Public Outcry Over Illegal Immigrants’ Integration
The arrests have raised concerns about security and social integration in Ajmer. Local residents and social organizations are alarmed that illegal immigrants are blending into society by creating fake identities and engaging in marriage to further their settlement. On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), some posts raised the question, “Who is marrying these illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators and bringing them home?” This issue not only exposes the problem of illegal immigration but also points to the deeper problem of human trafficking networks and fake documentation.
Police Investigation into Document Sources
Authorities are now investigating the sources of the fake documents used by these women and their local accomplices. The detained infiltrators will be handed over to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), where their deportation process will begin. The Rajasthan government has clearly stated its commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal immigrants, signaling a broader crackdown in the coming months.
Conclusion: A Warning to Society and Administration
This operation serves as a wake-up call for both society and the administration, highlighting the urgent need for more stringent measures against illegal immigration and fake documentation. The continuous arrests in Ajmer are a stark reminder that stronger action must be taken to prevent infiltration networks from growing further.
