DMP to crack down on illegal foreigners

Staff Correspondent
Law enforcers are going to launch a crackdown on foreigners staying illegally in Bangladesh following reports of involvement of some of them in criminal activities.
"We are making a list of foreigners staying illegally in the country and will raid flats and hotels soon," Monirul Islam, joint commissioner of Detective Branch of Police told reporters at the media centre of Dhaka Metropolitan Police in the capital.
Action would be taken against owners of
hotels and houses if they rent out rooms or flats to any foreigner without valid documents, Monirul said.
The move comes about two weeks after O-level student Zubair Ahmed was murdered, allegedly by an Algerian national.
Abuubaida Kadir, prime accused in the murder of the 16-year-old boy, has been living illegally in the country for more than a decade, say detectives.
Divers of Fire Service and Civil Defence recovered Zubair's body from a pond at

Uttara sector-4 on October 5, a day after he had gone missing. His family members alleged that Kadir, who befriended the boy, murdered him.
Around one lakh foreigners, mostly from African and South East Asian nations, are living in the country illegally for years. Of them, some African and Thai nationals are involved in crimes, according to sources in intelligence agencies.
"Around 8,000 nationals of African countries are living illegally in the country. Many of them are involved in killings, mugging, and also run illegal voice over internet protocol business in the capital. They have become a headache for us," said an intelligence official requesting anonymity.
Many of them entered Bangladesh as football players or students but didn't leave the country before their visas expired.
In many cases, they destroy their passports and other documents so that law enforcers cannot verify their nationality to repatriate them upon their arrest for criminal offences, say intelligence officials.
Like some other citizens of African nations, Kadir entered the country as a private university student in 2001 after spending a year in India.
Kadir didn't return to his home country before his visa expired. He destroyed his travel and other documents, and started living in Uttara illegally. He even obtained a mobile SIM card posing as a Bangladeshi national, they said.
