Pune Police have launched a significant crackdown on illegal immigration, detaining 94 Bangladeshi nationals since June 2025. The operations targeted areas under the jurisdiction of Faraskhana, Samarth, Khadak, Vishrambaug, Deccan, and Shivajinagar police stations. Actions included document verification, detention, and deportation of individuals allegedly residing in Pune without valid documentation. According to Krushikesh Rawale, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for Zone 1, 17 Bangladeshi nationals were initially targeted, with 17 women deported after legal formalities. In 2026 alone, 72 additional Bangladeshi nationals have been detained, with 32 women currently in a detention center, while deportation for 40 women has been completed. The police are conducting these operations in coordination with government agencies to ensure adherence to immigration laws. Recently, a late-night operation in Budhwar Peth led to the detention of five Bangladeshi women suspected of illegal residency and involvement in prostitution. Documentary evidence confirming their nationality was recovered, and further legal actions are underway.
