Fri May 02 13:37:24 UTC 2025: ## Eight Bangladeshi Immigrants Arrested in Chennai Following Kashmir Attack
**CHENNAI, INDIA (May 2, 2025)** – Eight Bangladeshi nationals, including two women, have been arrested in Chennai’s Nazarathpet area for working illegally without proper documentation, police announced today. The arrests follow a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 24 tourists, prompting the Indian government to intensify efforts to deport and arrest illegal immigrants. The individuals were apprehended while working in menial jobs and residing in a rented house without visas. They have been remanded in judicial custody. This follows the arrest of 33 other illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Mangadu and Kundrathur last week. The government’s increased crackdown is part of a broader response to the Pahalgam attack, which also includes the expulsion of Pakistani nationals from the country.
