25 Bangladeshi nationals were detained in Kushmandi, West Bengal, after being caught with forged Indian ID documents.

They had illegally crossed from Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, using fake Aadhaar and voter cards to work undetected in Jammu & Kashmir for two years.

Rackets near the border and in hubs like Kolkata sell counterfeit Aadhaar, PAN, voter, and labor documents for ₹2,000–₹20,000.

These high-quality fakes bypass routine employer checks.
