According to a report in The Hindu, a Bangladeshi national was arrested from Chennai in May this year. He was living there for the last 9 years. A BSF official said the man was trying to leave the country. He was caught at that time. The official said, 'We got an Aadhaar card from him. After informing the police, we have written to UIDAI to deactivate the card.' This is being done to break the relationship between human traffickers and brokers, he said.
According to BSF sources, there are instances when suspected undocumented migrants are detained at border areas and they already have identity cards with Aadhaar. According to the report, the Union Home Ministry submitted an affidavit in the Jharkhand High Court this month. It is said that BSF is going to the concerned authorities to cancel the Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving license, voter card etc. of those Bangladeshis. It has also been reported that several Aadhaar cards have been canceled by the authorities.
At the same time, the BSF informed that to avoid lengthy legal cases, they are sending back undocumented migrants in coordination with Border Guards Bangladesh. The official also said that this system has been launched since March-April of this year.
