Four suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants were held in the Khondwa area of Pune in a joint operation of the police and the Military Intelligence last week, according to defence sources.

It is learnt that acting on a tip-off from the Southern Command of Military Intelligence, the police on June 13 apprehended the four suspects at a labour camp when they were trying to flee.

On verification, they were purportedly found to be Bangladeshi citizens named Swapan Mandal, Mithun Kumar, Ranodhir Mandal, and Dilip Mondal. They will be subjected to joint interrogation, said the sources.
