Indore Police Question Migrant Laborers Following Allegations of Illegal Immigration
Indore, Madhya Pradesh – December 30, 2025 – Police in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, questioned 17 migrant laborers from West Bengal on December 29 after receiving complaints from local residents alleging the workers were illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The complaint, filed with the Malharganj police station, originated from residents of the Kamla Nagar area, who claimed the workers at a local cloth factory were undocumented.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Krishna Lalchandani, the workers were released after initial questioning, pending verification of their identity documents. “Most of the workers have documents from Purba Medinipur district while some are from near Kolkata. We are verifying their documents and nationality. Nobody has been detained,” DCP Lalchandani stated. Police plan to contact authorities in West Bengal for assistance and may dispatch officers there if necessary.
Malharganj station in-charge Vedendra Kushwaha noted the laborers have been working in Indore for approximately five years. Local workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), involved in a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, were among those who raised concerns. The investigation is ongoing.
