NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have busted a major illegal immigration network, arresting 11 people, including document counterfeiters, Aadhaar operators, and technology specialists who created fraudulent websites, officials said.

DCP South, Ankit Chauhan, revealed that the suspects assisted Bangladeshi citizens by producing fraudulent Aadhaar cards, voter identification cards and other falsified documents through an unauthorised website.

The undocumented immigrants entered India by utilising forest pathways and express railway services, said DCP Chauhan.

He confirmed that authorities have apprehended 11 individuals who aided Bangladeshi nationals by providing counterfeit identification through unauthorised websites.
