Dehradun Police Uncovers Fake Documents Racket
Police in Dehradun have uncovered a case of illegal residence involving a Bangladeshi national living in the city using forged identification documents. The investigation led to the arrest of his Indian partner who was allegedly assisting in the illegal activities.
Thursday Afternoon Raid in Nehru Colony
The operation began on Thursday, November 21, 2025, when Uttarakhand police received specific intelligence about a suspicious man and woman residing in the Nehru Colony area of Dehradun. Acting swiftly on the tip-off, law enforcement officials detained both individuals for questioning.
During preliminary investigation, authorities discovered that the male suspect was a Bangladeshi national who had been living in India illegally. He had managed to obtain various fake documents that helped him establish residence and avoid detection by immigration authorities.
Indian Partner Arrested in Joint Operation
The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) confirmed that the Indian woman, who was living with the Bangladeshi national, has been taken into custody. She faces charges of assisting and harboring an illegal immigrant, along with possible involvement in obtaining the fraudulent documents.
Police sources indicate that the duo had been living together in Nehru Colony for an unspecified period before alert neighbors raised suspicions about their activities and documentation. The exact nature of their relationship and how long the illegal residence had continued remains under investigation.
The Bangladeshi national is being processed for violation of immigration laws and could face deportation proceedings after legal formalities are completed. Meanwhile, the Indian partner remains in police custody as investigators work to determine the full extent of the document forgery network.
Ongoing Investigation and Community Alert
Local authorities have intensified verification drives in the area following this incident. Police are examining how the fake documents were obtained and whether there are more individuals involved in similar activities in Dehradun.
Residents of Nehru Colony and surrounding areas have been advised to report any suspicious activities or individuals to the police immediately. The case highlights growing concerns about illegal immigration and document forgery operations in border states.
This incident marks the second major case of illegal immigration detected in Uttarakhand this year, prompting calls for stricter document verification processes across the state.
