Illegal Bangladeshi migrant held

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) officials on Wednesday arrested a Bangladeshi national who has been staying illegally in the country since 2006. The illegal migrant has stayed at several places across the country and was also found to be in touch with several people in Oman, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bangladesh and hence the police are probing if the foreigner was involved in any terrorism activities.

The arrested Bangladeshi has been identified as Mohammad Masood Mohammad Ali Sardar alias Raj.

"Masood was then detained for questioning and his inquiry revealed that he hailed from Comilla in Bangladesh," said an ATS officer.
