Mumbai: In a shocking development, the Mumbai Police probing the illegal stay of Bangladeshis in the city have found an alleged AIMIM connection to the case. The police have seized alleged letterheads of two AIMIM MLAs in connection with the earlier arrest of three illegal Bangladeshi immigrants staying in the city.

The Mumbai Police have arrested two agents while investigating the case of the three Bangladeshis, who were staying in Saki Naka area with forged documents. One of the agents was nabbed from Malegaon in Nashik and the police seized 155 Aadhar Cards, 34 passports, 28 PAN cards, 8 ration cards, 187 bank and postal department passbooks, 19 rubber stamps, and 29 fake school leaving certificates from his house.

However, the biggest seizure was of alleged letter heads of two MLAs of Asaduddin Owasi’s AIMIM party. The letterheads bear the names of MLAs Mufti Mohammed Ismail and Shaikh Aasif Shaikh Rashid.

Sources said letterheads of five more MLAs have also been recovered but their names and political affiliations have not been revealed by the Mumbai Police as yet.

It has yet to be probed whether the letterheads are genuine or fake. If found to be genuine, then the two AIMIM MLAs could be in trouble.

A Mumbai Police official said they do not want to jump to the conclusion that the AIMIM MLAs were helping Bangladeshi migrants in their illegal stay.
