Mangaluru police intensified their drive against suspected illegal immigrants and detained two Bangladeshi nationals during a raid at a restaurant near Panambur Beach. The police said the men were staying and working in India without documents.
Panambur Police Station personnel carried out the operation after they were tipped off that Bangladeshi nationals were working in a restaurant near the beach. Acting on the information, the police team searched the restaurant and found two people there.
The detained men have been identified as Ashikul Islam and M.D. Ameen. Both are said to be citizens of Bangladesh and could not produce official documents that would authorise their stay in India.
Police Conduct Raid at Panambur Beach Restaurant
According to the information available with us, police got a tip-off that two Bangladeshi nationals were residing illegally and working at a restaurant in Panambur Beach area. The Panambur police then raided the restaurant after getting the information.
During the inspection, officers found Ashikul Islam and M.D. Ameen working at the establishment. Police took both of them into custody for further investigation.
The authorities are looking into how the two entered India and how long they had been there. Details of employment and residential status were also expected to be part of the investigation.
The incident comes as police continue to seek out and take action against foreign nationals who are allegedly living in the region without proper immigration documents.
Deportation Process Initiated
Police said the two detained men were allegedly staying in India without producing any official documents. Panambur Police Station has now started the legal process for deportation to Bangladesh after their arrest.
They will be asked to prove their nationality and work with authorities to establish identity and travel documents. Deportation will be done according to the legal procedures.
The police are also expected to look into whether the restaurant management was aware of the alleged immigration status of the two employees and if rules were violated while employing them.
Investigation Continues
The detention of the two Bangladeshi nationals is part of police action against suspected illegal immigration in Mangaluru district. Police have been acting on specific information to identify foreign nationals who are allegedly living or working in the area without valid documents.
However, no details about the investigation have been released yet — when exactly they were in India and how they got jobs.
The police are still investigating and the next steps will be determined by document verification and the legal process concerning their alleged unauthorised stay in the country.
