Probe into illegal Bangladeshi migrants in City hits dead-end




By Dheeraj Fartode

Since all 83 of the detained suspected Bangladeshi migrants have successfully produced residencial documentats, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Nagpur Police’s investigation into illegal immigrants from Bangladesh has come to a standstill.
The suspects were captured from the MIHAN, Bastarwadi (close to Santra Market), and Marwadi Square (Shanti Nagar) on December 28, last year. The people from Bastarwadi and Marwadi Square worked in nearby clothing companies, whereas the people from MIHAN were mostly construction workers.
The accused showed residential certificates from the West Bengal districts of Murshidabad, Nandigram, East Midnapore and the 24 Parganas during the questioning.The police then questioned the suspects specific questions like - name of local MPs and MLAs as part of a two-step verification process. The suspects were released because they gave truthful responses.In the second step, the residences provided by the suspects were verified as real after additional enquiries were conducted with the police stations in the ahove districts in West Bengal. The police have therefore decided that there is not enough evidence to pursue further action, and the inquiry has been put on hold.


ATS dismantles Bangladeshi migrant network

The ATS had delivered a serious blow to a network of Bangladeshi migrants in Nagpur in September 2023. Palash Bipan Baruva (40), a Bangladeshi national living illegally in the Pivali River area of Nagpur, was arrested by the ATS. He was allegedly the main point of contact for illegal Bangladeshi migrants in the area. Baruva had crossed the border in 2010 and spent a year living close to the Pivali River while pretending to be a Buddhist monk. Later, he moved to Kamptee and spent almost three or four years living in a Buddha Vihar. He later became a gym trainer and fall in love with a woman.

Investigation had revealed that Baruva ran a sophisticated network that issued Indian passports to citizens of Bangladesh. He kept close ties with his contacts in Bangladesh even though he lived in Nagpur. When Maitri Baruva and Ankon Baruva, two citizens of Bangladesh, were detained at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in June 2023, the cover of Barua was blown up. The two had tried to use fake Indian passports to get on an overseas flight.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
