Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi (BGUS) has submitted a formal representation to the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City, seeking immediate action against illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators residing in Balapur and surrounding areas of the city. The organisation has called for a city-wide coordinated search operation and coordination with Central agencies for identification and deportation.
In its complaint dated BGUS said the presence of undocumented foreign nationals in and around sensitive zones poses a serious security concern and requires urgent intervention by law enforcement authorities.
BGUS, in its representation, on February 6, referred to proceedings in W.P. No. 1788 of 2026 before the High Court of Telangana and stated that figures relating to Rohingya settlements in the Balapur region were placed on record by the Government Pleader during the hearing. The Samithi said the court record mentions 26 identified Rohingya colonies in the Balapur–Ranga Reddy district area and noted that, as of October 30, 2025, as many as 6,993 Rohingya Muslims were recorded as residing within the Balapur Police Station limits.
The organisation also expressed concern that several of these settlements are located near major defence research establishments such as DRDO, DRDL and RCI, and described the proximity of large undocumented populations to strategic installations as a serious national security risk.
In the complaint, BGUS further alleged that illegal encroachments have taken place on government lands and dried-up lake beds, and claimed that fraudulent procurement of identity documents, including Aadhaar cards, ration cards and voter IDs, affecting the integrity of official databases and the democratic process.
BGUS urged the Hyderabad City Police to launch a comprehensive enforcement drive. Among its demands, it called on authorities to “conduct a major search operation” across the city with focus on Balapur, “investigate document fraud” by registering FIRs against facilitators, “coordinate with central agencies” including the Ministry of Home Affairs for deportation under the Foreigners Act, and “clear encroachments” around sensitive defence perimeters to create a secure buffer zone.
Speaking with Organiser, Dr Ravinutala Shashidhar, general secretary of BGUS, said, “Generally, police take suo motu cases on several issues, but surprisingly the Telangana Police are silent on illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingyas and have become mute spectators for several years, which is a grave mistake in the face of a national security threat. We demand that the police detect, detain and deport the illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims, starting with the numbers given by the government itself, make Hyderabad free from infiltrators, and freeze the ecosystem facilitating movement from Bangladesh to Bhagyanagar, including logistics, shelter, employment, protection, legal documents and religious protection.”
