11 Bangladeshi Nationals, Including Four Minors, Detained at Two Construction Sites in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: In a coordinated inspection at two separate construction sites under the jurisdiction of the Urwa Police Station, police detained 11 Bangladeshi nationals, including four minors, officials said on Monday.
Authorities are currently verifying the documents and identity details of all those detained. A comprehensive report is expected to be submitted to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), after which further orders regarding detention and deportation will be sought.
Police have initiated the process of collecting and scrutinising the detainees’ documents as part of the ongoing inquiry. Officials said the investigation aims to determine how the individuals entered the country and were employed at the construction sites.
Additionally, a criminal case is likely to be registered against a middleman from West Bengal, who allegedly brought the Bangladeshi nationals to Mangaluru for work, along with several labourers from other Indian states. Police said further details would be released once the FIR is formally registered.
