Intel Leads to Midnight Operation

The informer tipped off the police that a few Bangladeshi infiltrators would arrive around 1:30 am on March 14 at Priyadarshini slum area, Transit Camp, Ramabai Nagar in Ghatkopar East.
Acting on the tip-off, the police laid a trap and detained the three suspects at the location. During questioning, all three confessed that they were Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India through illegal infiltration routes.
