The Story in Brief
Two Bangladeshi nationals arrested in Adilabad, Telangana, have confessed to committing about 20 thefts across India, police said. Mohammed Jauni Ali and Mohammed Ruman Ali allegedly entered India illegally through a porous stretch of the West Bengal border after paying Rs 20,000 to an agent. They travelled to Kolkata and Bhopal, stole a motorcycle, and rode nearly 600 km to Adilabad, where they broke into the home of Congress leader Kandi Srinivas and stole gold and silver. The duo would return to Bangladesh with stolen valuables, selling them to gold merchants. Telangana authorities have alerted central intelligence agencies to track the border agent and trace 10 other suspected members of the theft syndicate. Jauni Ali is also suspected of obtaining a fraudulent Aadhaar card in Jaipur.
The Indian Opinion
Some may rush to paint this as a wholesale failure of border security, but the facts point to a specific criminal network exploiting a porous stretch. The duo's ability to obtain a fraudulent Aadhaar card raises questions about document verification, not immigration policy in general. The real test will be whether central agencies can trace the 10 other suspects and the border agent named. That alone will show if enforcement is catching up with the syndicate's methods.
