13 Arrested in West Bengal for Illegal Stay
In a village in West Bengal, police arrested 12 people from Bangladesh and one Indian man.
The Indian man, Saber Ali, was helping the Bangladeshis stay in his village.
The police found out because someone told them that these people didn't have the right papers to be in India.
The police are keeping them and will take them to court soon.
They want to ask some of them more questions for 10 days.
The police are still looking into what happened.
The police are trying to find out how the Bangladeshis got to India and if more people are involved.
13 individuals, including 12 Bangladeshi nationals and 1 Indian citizen, were arrested in Char Gopalpur village, Murshidabad, West Bengal for illegal entry and sheltering of undocumented foreign nationals.
The arrests were made on November 28, 2025, based on information from a confidential source.
The Indian national, Saber Ali (31), allegedly provided accommodation to the 12 Bangladeshi citizens for an unspecified period.
None of the Bangladeshi nationals possessed valid travel or identity documents.
The arrested individuals will be produced in court on November 29, 2025, with the police seeking 10 days' custody for three of them.
