ED Uncovers Major Fake Document Racket Fueling Illegal Infiltration in Bengal and Jharkhand

Over the past decade, India has faced a significant rise in illegal infiltration, primarily from Bangladesh and Myanmar. This immigration has led to substantial demographic shifts, contributing to overpopulation pressures in many regions. Infiltrators often stay undetected by acquiring fake documents, which help them pass as Indian citizens. In recent developments, investigations by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have uncovered a deeply concerning money laundering and human trafficking network, involving the production of counterfeit documents for Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators across states like West Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand. However, officials fear these findings are only the beginning, revealing only the surface of a far-reaching and complex issue.
