Breaking the Bangladeshi infiltration network: Meghalaya Police dismantle a banking and forgery ring.

In a significant breakthrough, Meghalaya Police, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police Ashu Pant, have uncovered a major criminal network facilitating illegal immigration, identity forgery, and banking fraud. The operation, initiated on February 14, 2025, uncovered a sophisticated smuggling network, after five Bangladeshi nationals were detained in Nongpoh, Meghalaya. The group, which had illegally entered India, presented forged Indian identity documents including Aadhaar and PAN cards.

Further investigation traced the fraudulent documents to Shaikh Mohd Mujib, a key facilitator based in Mumbai, who is alleged to have arranged fake identity documents for migrants. The operation also uncovered a racket led by Nusrat A. Kazi and Jabir Yunus Shaikh, who used these forged identities to open bank accounts, which were then exploited for loan frauds and cybercrimes, including selling the accounts to cybercriminals for financial scams.
