Hello friends, whenever we talk about the borders and security of our country, it becomes necessary that the rules are strictly followed. Recently, a court in Thane district of Maharashtra Court ruled on a case in which a Bangladeshi citizen was found guilty of living illegally in India. The court not only sentenced him but also ordered his immediate return to Bangladesh.
What is the whole matter?
This case is of a man named Vimal Ranjit Biswas, who was arrested by the police on 9 January 2024 from an industrial area in Bhayander. Investigation revealed that he was living in India without valid documents and was working here illegally. During interrogation, he admitted that he had entered India by paying Rs 20,000 to an agent. However, he did not have any valid documents that could prove that he was entitled to stay in India.
Strict stand of the court
Additional Sessions Judge G. T. Pawar clearly said during the hearing in this case that under Section 9 of the Foreigners Act, it is the responsibility of the accused to prove that he is living in India legally. The court said in its order, “Neither during the investigation nor during the hearing did the accused present any document that proves that he is an Indian citizen or has entered India legally.”
What was the punishment?
The Maharashtra Court sentenced Vimal Ranjit Biswas to one year and 54 days, but since he had already spent that much time in jail, he was released. Apart from this, the court also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 and said that after completing all the legal procedures, he should be immediately sent to Bangladesh.
Illegal infiltration is a serious issue in India
This incident is not just a case, but it shows that strict action is being taken against those who illegally enter the country and live here. To protect the security and resources of India, strict action must be taken in such cases. This case teaches us how important it is to follow the rules of the country’s borders and security. If any person comes to India without valid documents and starts working here, then it is a violation of the laws of the country and strict action will be taken against him. It is difficult to escape the law and one day the truth comes out.
