In a significant crackdown on illegal activities involving infiltrators, the Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force along with the Chaderghat and Khairathabad Police, conducted simultaneous raids on brothel houses operating illegally in the city. The operation led to the arrest of 18 individuals, including Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India illegally and were running organised prostitution rackets.
According to police sources, these individuals had established a well-organised network for human trafficking, targeting financially distressed women from Bangladesh under the guise of providing employment opportunities in India. They were smuggled into the country with fake Indian identity documents and were later forced into the flesh trade.
The investigation revealed that brokers like Kamarul Shaikh and Ajarul Shaikh played a key role in illegally bringing Bangladeshi nationals into India through West Bengal. These brokers charged Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 per person for illegal migration, providing them with fake Indian IDs before dispersing them to cities like Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

Several of the arrested individuals have a history of criminal activities, with cases registered under the POCSO Act and other serious charges in different police stations. Among them, Md. Rony Khan, an Ola bike rider from Rajendranagar, originally from Bangladesh, has been previously booked in similar cases. Ritaj Islam, a bus cleaner from Secunderabad, also hailing from Bangladesh, has been implicated in past offenses.
Citizens argued that how did illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators manage to settle in Hyderabad and secure jobs in critical public-facing roles like bike riders, beauty parlour workers, and tailors? Who allowed them to work, and how did they obtain the necessary documents? Is there any Islamic religious organisations facilitating these illegal infiltrators?
BJP MLA Raja Singh took to X, questioning, “Where are the Muslim leaders of Old City? Why is no one speaking up?”
He warned that illegal infiltration is not just a security threat but an attack on Hyderabad’s future. Emphasizing the urgency of the issue, he demanded the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by an IPS officer to identify and take strict action against illegal infiltrators across Telangana before it’s too late.
Once again, Bangladeshis have been caught in Hyderabad, this time involved in illegal activities.
Using fake Hindu names, they infiltrate from Bangladesh → West Bengal → Hyderabad and then spread across major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Kolkata. Due to vote… pic.twitter.com/XlHC8ci29m

The two cases registered following the operation are:
Chaderghat Police Station– Booked under Sections 143, 144 of the BNS Act, and Sections 3 & 4 of the PITA Act.
Khairathabad Police Station – Registered under Sections 318(2), 318(4) of the BNS Act, and Sections 14A(a)(b) & 14C of the Foreigners Act.
They add that isn’t just a case of illegal immigration; it’s a serious security breach. If these individuals could blend into the system so easily, how many more are operating unnoticed? What is the government doing to track and stop them?
The arrested individuals and rescued victims have been handed over to the respective police stations for further legal proceedings.
This operation exposes the growing issue of illegal Bangladeshi infiltration into India and their involvement in organized crime.
The arrests were carried out by S. Raghavendra, Inspector of Police, Task Force (South Zone), along with M. Raju, Inspector of Police, Chaderghat Police Station, and S. Rajasekhar, Inspector of Police, Khairathabad Police Station. They were assisted by Sub-Inspectors K. Narsimulu, M. Mahesh, G. Anjaneyulu, and N. Naveen, along with the staff of the Task Force (South Zone), Hyderabad.
Over the past two decades, Hyderabad has seen a significant rise in illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, with their numbers expected to be in lakhs. They have concentrated in areas such as Balapur, Pahadishareef, Hafeezbaba Nagar, and Kishan Bagh—constituencies represented by AIMIM and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi. This raises serious security concerns, as such settlements often become hubs for illegal activities. The scale and density of this influx strongly suggest that it was not a sudden development, leading to questions about whether the local MLAs and MP are complicit with these anti-national elements or are deliberately exploiting the vulnerability of Hindus for political gains.
