16 illegal Bangladeshi Nationals apprehended in Delhi's Seemapuri area
New Delhi [India], June 2 (ANI): In a significant action against illegal immigration, a joint team from the Foreigner Cell and Special Staff of Shahdara District Police apprehended 16 Bangladeshi nationals from Delhi's Seemapuri area.
As per the police, the operation was launched following credible intelligence about the movement of illegal immigrants across the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border near the Shaheed Nagar area.
Acting swiftly on the tip-off, the police team conducted initial verification and, after confirming the information, formulated an immediate action plan. Based on surveillance and identification by the informer, the joint team intercepted the group as they attempted to enter the Seemapuri area in Delhi.
A total of 16 individuals were detained, including four adult males, five adult females, and seven minor children. All were identified as Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India without valid documents and were attempting to settle in Delhi illegally.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Shahdara District, Prashant Gautam said, 'During interrogation, the detainees revealed that they had crossed into India nearly 18 to 19 years ago, driven by poverty and lack of livelihood opportunities in their native villages, located about 40 to 50 kilometres from the India-Bangladesh border.'
'They claimed to have entered Indian territory during the night without encountering any Border Security Force personnel. After initially settling in the Cooch Behar area of West Bengal, they later travelled by train to Delhi in search of employment. Eventually, they found work in rural areas of Haryana, primarily at brick kilns (locally known as bhatta), where they engaged in brick-making. These remote locations allowed them to remain hidden and avoid detection by authorities. No government agency had conducted any verification during their stay, and kiln owners allegedly employed them without proper documentation due to the availability of cheap labour,' the DCP said.
DCP Gautam further mentioned that following their apprehension, legal proceedings were initiated under the Foreigners Act and other applicable laws. 'All individuals have been handed over to the Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) of Delhi Police for the deportation process,' he said. (ANI)

Citing left-wing extremism, US issues advisory cautioning against travel in parts of Odisha
BHUBANESWAR: The US has flagged parts of Odisha in its travel advisory, urging its citizens to exercise increased caution while travelling. Citing concerns over terrorism, crime and civil unrest, the US Department of State has issued a Level-2 alert for India, warning of sporadic incidents linked to left-wing extremism in parts of the country. The presence of Maoist activities in Odisha has awarded the state a place among 14 Indian states where travellers' safety may be compromised included in the advisory. The June 18 advisory warned its citizens against travel to south-western Odisha, which it lists among regions impacted by Maoist violence. It specifically lists attacks targeting security forces and government officials in rural areas, including those bordering Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. 'Attacks against officers of the Indian government continue to occur sporadically in the rural parts of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand that share a border with Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha. Southwest areas of Odisha are also affected,' the advisory stated. While the state capital, Bhubaneswar, and major urban areas have been cited as unaffected by these restrictions, the US government has asked its employees to obtain special authorisation before travelling to regions beyond the capital.

‘My entire career is derailed': Analyst says accidental file download led to termination and blacklisting
An Indian professional has shared a distressing account of how a single mistake during his resignation period derailed his career, highlighting the precarious nature of employee exits and background verifications in the country's competitive job market. The lack of documentation has had serious consequences for the analyst's job search.(Pexel) The individual, who worked as a senior analyst in the oil and gas research domain with experience in business process automation, posted his story anonymously on Reddit, saying he had been with the same company for over four years and was well-regarded in his role. However, he says things took a dramatic turn while he was serving his notice. Also read: Malaysian woman says boss demanded live location during holiday or be marked absent 'While serving my notice, I was trying to take some of my personal files to my personal drive and I accidentally downloaded some company files along with it,' he wrote. 'There was no malicious intent — I genuinely didn't think it would cause an issue, and I was wrapping up some pending work.' The incident was flagged as a data breach by the company, leading to an immediate revocation of his resignation and termination of employment. 'What's worse — I don't have any exit documents. No experience letter, no clearance, nothing — just a termination letter,' he added. The lack of documentation has had serious consequences for the analyst's job search. 'Now when I apply to other companies, I can't pass background verification. In fact, in a recent BGV with another reputed firm, my old company red-flagged me.' He admits to having made a poor judgment call, but said the punishment feels disproportionate. 'I understand I made a mistake. I should've been more careful and transparent. But now it feels like my entire career is derailed over one bad judgment call.' In India, background verification is a standard procedure for white-collar jobs, and missing or negative exit records can severely hinder future employment. The analyst says recruiters often ghost him after the checks. 'I'm finding it really hard to even get a chance to explain myself to recruiters.' The emotional toll has been immense. 'This situation has really taken a toll on my confidence and mental peace,' he wrote, concluding the post with a plea: 'If there's anyone who's willing to help or even just guide me, I'd be really grateful.' Take a look at the post: The post prompted responses from users offering advice and solidarity. A user wrote, 'I think your only option is meet with HR and explain your side of story n beg them' Another added, 'It looks like an honest mistake. Reach out to HR and plead. This is the only way of resolution.' Also read: Donald Trump's post on peace after bombing Iran's nuclear sites is redefining irony
