Police have arrested five Bangladeshi women from Mira Road in Maharashtra’s Thane district after they were found living in India without permission and valid documents, officials said on Tuesday.
The action was taken by the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell of the Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar commissionerate, they said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (crime) Madan Ballal said the police had received a tip-off that some Bangladeshi nationals were residing illegally in Mira Road area, following which raids were conducted at two slums on Saturday.
