Gurugram police said 13 alleged Bangladeshi nationals residing without lawful status were apprehended in a special verification drive. Police said the individuals were being sent to West Bengal’s Malda for handover to relevant authorities for deportation proceedings.
The case matters for UPSC because it sits at the intersection of internal security, identity verification, and the administrative process used to deal with persons suspected to be foreign nationals without valid residence papers. The matter also illustrates how local police drives connect with border-state coordination and deportation procedures.

Police said the Crime Branch, Sector-39, identified the 13 persons during a Gurugram police special verification drive targeting Bangladeshi nationals living without lawful status.
Police said a special escort team was en route to Malda for handover to the relevant authorities. Police also said security arrangements were in place for the process.
