Pune has reportedly become a favoured destination for Bangladeshi nationals seeking to travel abroad by acquiring Indian passports with the aid of fraudulent Indian documents. According to reports, Pune is evolving into a new hub for the production of counterfeit documents for Bangladeshi nationals. Last month, Borivli police arrested 21 Bangladeshi citizens who had illegally entered India. Upon their arrest, authorities discovered eight Indian passports in their possession, while the remaining 13 individuals had applied for passports.

The police revealed that this criminal group was responsible for creating counterfeit identity and residential documents, which helped them to get Indian passports for Bangladeshi nationals seeking visas for employment in Gulf countries. In just two years, the gang allegedly sent a minimum of 70 Bangladeshi individuals to Gulf countries using Indian passports.
