Crackdown on illegal Bangladeshis, ED conducts raids in Jharkhand, West Bengal over infiltration

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched an operation in poll-bound Jharkhand and West Bengal on Tuesday in a money laundering case involving the suspected illegal entry of people from Bangladesh. The operations, which covered seven locations in each of the states, are part of an ongoing investigation regarding the alleged changing of population ratios in the tribal belts of Jharkhand, predominantly in the Santhal Pargana and Kolhan regions. These regions have come to the centre of a political controversy regarding suspected illegal immigration.
