- A man named Khan, who previously completed a “Maulana course” at an Islamic institution in Myanmar, made a journey from Myanmar to Bangladesh before settling in a refugee camp. Unable to find work in Bangladesh, he decided to move to West Bengal where he heard of job opportunities.
- During his time in West Bengal, Khan separated from his first wife and remarried a Rohingya woman named Shafiqa. Together, they had a son and crossed the international border into India with the help of human traffickers. Initially, they struggled to find stable employment in Kolkata.
- Eventually, Khan and his family made their way to Pune where he found work at a private company in Talegaon MIDC. Investigations revealed that an unidentified company employee may have played a role in relocating individuals from Myanmar and Bangladesh to Pune. Khan also started selling children’s clothing sourced from Bhiwandi to boost his income.
- The police investigation uncovered that Khan acquired an Aadhaar card for Rs 500 from a shop in Bhiwandi without providing legitimate documents. Agents allegedly submitted forged paperwork at an Aadhaar enrollment center to help Khan obtain the card, which later became the foundation for other Indian identity documents, including passports.
- Authorities in Pune and Goa have been alerted to 65 Indian passports reportedly procured illegally by nationals of Bangladesh and Myanmar. Khan’s house in Dehu Road was found locked, and his family was unavailable for comment. The investigation is ongoing as police continue to trace those involved in the racket.
