Bengaluru police arrested three illegal immigrants from Sri Lanka and two from Bangladesh, both groups now facing deportation.

On September 25, 2025, Bengaluru police detained three foreign nationals who entered India illegally in 2024, reportedly arriving by boat from Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu and later residing in Karnataka without valid documents. A tip led to their arrest in Devanahalli, with cases filed under the Foreigners Act. Separately, two Bangladeshi nationals overstaying visas for about two years were detained in Delhi. Deportation proceedings have begun for both groups, as police maintain a zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration. Investigations into their presence in India are ongoing.
