Three Bangladeshi Nationals Arrested with Fake IDs in Kozhikode

Police in Kozhikode, Kerala, have arrested three Bangladeshi nationals suspected of staying in India illegally. The accused have been identified as Rabbi Sheikh, Roshnara Begum and Papija (Ya). Police reportedly seized fake Aadhaar and voter ID cards from them. The case came to light after officers began investigating a dispute involving the individuals and local residents. During the inquiry, the authenticity of their identity documents raised suspicions, prompting further investigation. Preliminary findings reportedly indicated that the three had entered India illegally from Bangladesh.

According to police, the accused were renting a room near a private hospital in Kozhikode. Investigators found that they had previously worked as labourers in Bengaluru, Karnataka, before moving to Kerala a few months ago. They are suspected of using forged Indian identity documents and false names to conceal their identities. A case has been registered, and police are investigating who allegedly created the fake documents and whether a wider network was involved. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
