India’s first glass bridge, inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, connects the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar statue in Kanyakumari.

India's first glass bridge now open in Tamil Nadu

The bridge spans 77 metres in length and 10 metres in width, offering visitors an unparalleled experience.

India's first glass bridge, a stunning feat of modern engineering, has opened to the public in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the landmark structure on December 30 by walking across the transparent bridge, which links two of the region&rsquo;s most iconic attractions &mdash; the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the towering 133-foot Thiruvalluvar statue.
The bridge spans 77 metres in length and 10 metres in width, offering visitors an unparalleled experience. Its transparent surface provides breathtaking views of the sea below, while the bowstring arch design showcases a perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and structural strength. Designed to endure the challenging coastal conditions, the bridge is built with materials resistant to salt air and high humidity, ensuring durability and safety.
Constructed at a cost of Rs 37 crore by the Tamil Nadu government, the bridge was unveiled during the silver jubilee celebrations of the Thiruvalluvar statue&rsquo;s inauguration by former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. This new structure eliminates the need for ferry services between the two monuments, providing a more scenic and convenient option for tourists.
Previously, visitors relied on boats to travel between the Kanyakumari jetty, the Vivekananda Memorial, and the Thiruvalluvar statue. Now, they can leisurely stroll across the glass bridge, soaking in panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape. The experience seamlessly blends adventure with serenity, making it a unique draw for travelers.

The glass bridge is expected to be a major boost for tourism in Kanyakumari, reinforcing Tamil Nadu&rsquo;s image as a state that combines heritage with modern innovation. By linking two cultural and spiritual landmarks, the bridge serves as both a symbol of progress and an unforgettable experience for visitors.

The BJP has accused Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP government of exploiting children for political gain, violating the Juvenile Act, and failing in education promises, including teacher vacancies and school infrastructure.

BJP Accuses Arvind Kejriwal of Exploiting Children for Political Gains

The BJP spokesperson noted that the AAP government has also promised a similar amount to imams but has not paid them for 17 months.

The BJP on Tuesday accused Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal of using children for political gains, charging him with practising "petty, cheap and dirty" politics.
Addressing a press conference, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said Delhi's ruling party has not taken down a post, which shows some children raising pro-Kejriwal slogans, despite the National Human Rights Commission raising serious concerns on the matter.
Such a depiction of children is a violation of the Juvenile Act and the Election Commission guidelines, he said.
"Kejriwal and Chief Minister Atishi are not sparing even children. They are violating the dignity of children. Is it because Kejriwal knows that he is losing the elections in Delhi," Bhatia asked.
He asked why Kejriwal was "playing with young and impressionable minds for his petty, cheap and dirty politics".
The BJP, he claimed, will ensure that the "destroyer of children and a hater of children" is thrown out of power. He accused the AAP government of converting school toilets into classrooms for children and deliberately failing students in Class 9 and Class 11 to ensure higher pass percentages in Class 10 and Class 12.
He added that people will celebrate "Happiness Utsav" -- a Delhi government initiative to commemorate the 'Happiness Curriculum' in its schools -- by teaching the AAP a lesson in the upcoming polls.
The AAP government opened no new school despite promising over 500 of them, and is behind the vacancy of almost 80 per cent post of teachers, he alleged.
Bhatia dubbed Kejriwal's announcement of Rs 18,000 monthly honorarium to temple and gurudwara priests as yet another "false promise" by the AAP, claiming the former chief minister knows that his "political life" is coming to an end.
Until recently his government was opening liquor shops outside religious places, he said.
The BJP spokesperson noted that the AAP government has also promised a similar amount to imams but has not paid them for 17 months. "There has been no bigger fraud and deceitful politician in India than him," he alleged.
Asked about the Congress' charge that the BJP government at the Centre has disrespected former prime minister Manmohan Singh, the BJP leader hit back at the opposition party's "insult" of former PM P V Narasimha Rao, saying it did not even allow his cremation in the national capital.
There has been a bitter war of words between the Congress and the ruling BJP over arrangements at Singh's funeral and over the setting up of a memorial to the ex-PM.

India has pledged to provide all necessary assistance to Nimisha Priya, an Indian nurse sentenced to death in Yemen for allegedly murdering a Yemeni national. Despite failed legal appeals, Priya’s family is exploring options for her release.

Extending all possible help: MEA on Indian nurse's case in Yemen

Nimisha Priya, a trained nurse from Palakkad, was found guilty of killing Talal Abdo Mahdi, a Yemeni national, in 2017.

India on Tuesday said it is extending all possible help to explore relevant options in the case of an Indian nurse facing death sentence in Yemen.
Nimisha Priya, hailing from Kerala, has been reportedly handed capital punishment for allegedly murdering a Yemeni citizen.

"We are aware of the sentencing of Ms. Nimisha Priya in Yemen. We understand that the family of Priya is exploring relevant options," said Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
"The government is extending all possible help in the matter," he added.
Jaiswal was replying to a media query. 
Background of the Case
Nimisha Priya, a trained nurse from Palakkad, was found guilty of killing Talal Abdo Mahdi, a Yemeni national, in 2017. A Yemeni court sentenced her to death a year later, and her family has been tirelessly working to have the verdict overturned. Priya&rsquo;s family challenged the trial court&rsquo;s decision in the Yemeni Supreme Court, but their appeal was rejected in 2023. Following this, the Yemeni President also dismissed her appeal. Priya&rsquo;s only hope for release lies in obtaining forgiveness from the victim&rsquo;s family and tribal leaders.
Her mother, Prema Kumari, has been negotiating with the victim&rsquo;s family for forgiveness through the payment of "blood money." However, talks hit an impasse in September after the lawyer appointed by the Indian Embassy, Abdullah Ameer, demanded a pre-negotiation fee of $20,000 (approximately Rs 16.6 lakh). Although the MEA had already provided $19,871 to Ameer in July, he insisted on a total fee of $40,000. Despite the crowdfunding efforts by the Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council to raise the first installment of this amount, there were transparency concerns over how the funds were being used.
 The Circumstances Leading to the Death Sentence
Nimisha Priya moved to Yemen in 2010 and worked as a nurse in private hospitals. In 2014, due to financial constraints, her husband and daughter returned to India. That same year, Yemen plunged into a civil war, preventing their return. In 2015, Priya sought the help of Talal Mahdi to set up a clinic in Sana'a, Yemen, as the country's laws allowed only Yemeni nationals to own clinics. During this time, Mahdi accompanied Priya to Kerala, where he allegedly stole her wedding photograph and later manipulated it to falsely claim he was married to her.
Upon their return to Yemen, Priya opened her clinic, but Mahdi took control of its revenue and manipulated ownership documents. When Priya confronted him about his embezzlement, Mahdi became hostile. He also falsely claimed Priya as his wife, even altering photographs to support this claim. Over time, Mahdi began to demand money from Priya's earnings and seized her passport, subjecting her to physical and emotional abuse.
Despite Priya seeking help from the police in Sana&rsquo;a, her situation worsened. Rather than taking action against Mahdi, the police arrested Priya and held her in jail for six days. In July 2017, Priya approached the warden of a nearby jail where Mahdi had been incarcerated. The warden suggested she try sedating Mahdi to retrieve her passport. Priya attempted this, using a stronger sedative, but Mahdi died from an overdose shortly afterward. 
The Ongoing Efforts for Justice
The government of India, alongside Priya&rsquo;s family, is continuing its efforts to resolve the case, with legal avenues being explored to ensure her release.

Andhra Pradesh's N Chandrababu Naidu emerges as India's richest chief minister with assets worth ₹930 crore, according to a recent ADR report.

Chandrababu Naidu richest CM, Mamata Banerjee poorest: ADR

The report said the average asset per chief minister from state assemblies and union territories is Rs 52.59 crore.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is the richest chief minister in India with assets worth over Rs 931 crore, while West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee is the poorest with just Rs 15 lakh, according to an Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) report released on Monday.
The report said the average asset per chief minister from state assemblies and union territories is Rs 52.59 crore.
While India's per capita net national income or NNI was approximately Rs 1,85,854 for 2023-2024, the average self-income of a chief minister is Rs 13,64,310, around 7.3 times the average per capita income of India.
The total assets of 31 chief ministers are worth Rs 1,630 crores.
Arunachal Pradesh's Pema Khandu is the second richest chief minister with total assets worth over Rs 332 crores, Karnataka's Siddaramaiah is the third on the list with assets worth more than Rs 51 crore.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, with assets worth Rs 55 lakh, is the second poorest in the list and Pinarayi Vijayan is third with Rs 1.18 crore.
Khandu also has the highest liabilities to the tune of Rs 180 crore. Siddaramaiah has liabilities worth Rs 23 crore and Naidu more than Rs 10 crore, the report said.
It also said 13 (42 percent) chief ministers have declared criminal cases against themselves, while 10 (32 percent) have declared serious criminal cases including those related to attempt to murder, kidnapping, bribery, and criminal intimidation.
Out of the 31 chief ministers, only two are women - West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee and Delhi's Atishi.

Delhi L-G VK Saxena rebukes Kejriwal for calling Atishi a "temporary CM," calling it undemocratic. Atishi accuses L-G of BJP bias and blocking public welfare schemes.

Delhi L-G Criticizes Kejriwal's "Temporary CM" Remark

Saxena also praised Atishi for working on addressing various administrative issues after taking charge.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Monday expressed concern over AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal labelling Atishi a "temporary chief minister" and called it a "flagrant disregard for the democratic spirit and values enshrined in the Constitution".
In a letter to the chief minister, Saxena said Kejriwal's remark was an insult to President Droupadi Murmu, who appointed her, as well as himself as her representative.
Hitting back, Atishi alleged the lieutenant governor's office was working as a BJP "proxy" and asserted that Kejriwal was Delhi's "tallest leader".
In his letter to Atishi, the Delhi lieutenant governor said, "A few days ago, when your predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal, publicly declared you as a temporary or stopgap chief minister in the media, I found this highly objectionable, and I was hurt by it. This was not only an insult to you but also to the president of India, and to me, in my capacity as her representative."
"The public explanation given by Kejriwal regarding the temporary or stopgap nature of your position has no constitutional provision and is a flagrant disregard for the democratic spirit and values enshrined in the Constitution created by BR Ambedkar," he added.
Saxena also praised Atishi for working on addressing various administrative issues after taking charge.
"During my two-and-a-half years of tenure, I have witnessed the person occupying the position of chief minister actually performing the duties of the chief minister," Saxena wrote to Atishi.
The lieutenant governor also extended his new year greetings to her.
"While your predecessor had no department under his charge and did not sign files, you have taken on the responsibility of various departments and have tried to address various administrative issues," he said.
Saxena added the circumstances under which Atishi was made chief minister, the responsibility for failures in completing the various pending works would be attributed to her after her own party's leader declared her as "stopgap".
"The way in which, in your presence, Kejriwal has made unauthorised announcements about senior citizens' and women's schemes in the name of the chief minister has tarnished the dignity of the office of the chief minister and the council of ministers," he said.
Recently, through public notices issued by two Delhi government departments, people were warned to be cautious regarding registration for "non-existent schemes" initiated by the former chief minister, Saxena said in his letter to Atishi.
"This incident is unprecedented and must have undoubtedly been uncomfortable for you," he added.
"However, I also appreciate the departmental officials who, while fulfilling their duties, presented the correct facts to the public regarding the misleading schemes and their registration in the interest of the public," he further said.
Saxena alleged that Kejriwal had been making public statements without any basis or facts, claiming that the transport department and other investigative agencies would probe into Atishi and send her to jail.
"This is not only false but such statements also imply that you are unaware of the activities of the departments working under you. In fact, it has now come to light through newspapers that the additional chief secretary of the transport department has written to inform you that neither any such action is being taken by their department or the vigilance department, nor has there ever been any discussion about it. He has completely rejected Kejriwal's statements, labelling them as baseless and misleading," Saxena said.
"As lieutenant governor, I am concerned about this level of public discourse and, at the same time, hurt by the conversation that portrays the full-time chief minister of my government as a temporary one," he added.
In her reply, Atishi said Saxena should let go of "petty politics" and instead focus on fostering collaboration.
"Obstruction of the 'Mahila Samman Yojana' is a clear testimony of politicisation of the lieutenant governor's office," she charged.
Atishi questioned how anyone could be so caught up in politics that they did not care for the people.
"The lieutenant governor's office is now working as a proxy of the BJP and, in its enthusiasm to protect the interest of the party, causing damage to the lives of ordinary Delhites," she added.
She also pointed out that his responsibility was to maintain law and order.
"It's the one job that you are directly responsible for and mandated to do. Unfortunately, you have miserably failed in keeping this city safe. A former MP is distributing money to lure voters right under your nose but you illegally gave him police protection," she charged, in a reference to BJP leader Parvesh Verma.
Atishi expressed hope that Saxena would let go of the "baggage of politics" that "ailed" him and work towards the welfare of the citizens of Delhi in the new year.

ISRO achieves a key milestone with the successful launch of SpaDeX spacecraft, advancing India's ambitions in space docking and interplanetary missions.

 ISRO’s SpaDeX Mission Marks Breakthrough in Space Docking Technology

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somanath said the rocket has placed the satellites in the right orbit of 475 km circular orbit, after over 15 minutes of flight.

Two spacecraft that would aid ISRO in demonstrating space docking, a critical technology for future space missions, got separated successfully and were placed into the desired orbit late Monday, the country&rsquo;s space agency said.
"PSLV C60 mission accomplished as a SpaDeX spacecraft is considered," said Mission Director M Jayakumar.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somanath said the rocket has placed the satellites in the right orbit of 475 km circular orbit, after over 15 minutes of flight.
"So, as far as we are concerned, the rocket has placed the spacecraft in the right orbit and the SpaDeX satellites have moved one behind the other, and over the period of time, it will pick up further distance, travel about 20 km away and then the rendezvous and docking process will start.
&ldquo;And we hope that the docking process can happen in another week and the nominal time is going to be approximately January 7," he said in his address from the Mission Control Centre.
In this mission, the very important part is the POEM-4 with 24 payloads from startups, industries, academia and also from ISRO centres, he said.
These are scheduled to be fired on Tuesday morning. Scientists would work through the night to ensure that the POEM-4 reaches the desired orbit level to perform the operation, Somanath said.
Later, talking to reporters at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Somanath said the PSLV-C60 mission placed the two SpaDeX satellites weighing 220kg in a circular orbit and 475 km as against the projected 470 km and this mission also has the POEM-4 which has 24 payloads to perform research and development.
"They are payloads and are not satellites. They are going to be attached to the fourth stage (of the PSLV rocket) for conducting experiments over the next two months. The upper stage of the PSLV rocket will be brought down to a lowered orbit to 350 km and that process is currently going on. After that, we will have many activities to continue," Somanath, also the Secretary, Department of Space, said.
On the Space Docking Experiment, he said the scientists would have many operations from December 31 at the ISTRAC Bengaluru and he expected that the docking condition 'possibly on January 7'.
&ldquo;So, we will be able to see that from the Control Centre, ISTRAC, Bengaluru. All those activities of docking, including telecasting of the onboard images from the camera of the docking processes,&rdquo; he said.
Somanath, flanked by SpaDeX Project Director N Surendran, Mission Director M Jayakumar and Directors of the various Centre said ISRO was &ldquo;very proud&rdquo; of this accomplishment and expressed hope that the SpaDeX mission's objective can be achieved in the coming days.
&ldquo;Really important mission for us, this you know, with the space sector reforms, and expansion of space activities. Then we have human space flight programmes, building space stations etc. This (Monday's) mission is so critical for us to work on future missions like the Chandrayaan-4, missions to the Moon as well,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;I believe this is not the first SpaDeX and there will be many more SpaDeX varieties including complex versions of docking systems in the coming days,&rdquo; he said.
Mission Director M Jayakumar said, &ldquo;Hearty congratulations to the team ISRO for venturing into the exciting domain of Space Docking and this Mission once again has POEM-4. We have 24 payloads, and some interesting experiments in POEM-4 like debris capture, and biological experiments are there.&rdquo;
&ldquo;We had two launches of the PSLV from the same launch pad that is the first launch pad in December. So, after the first launch (on December 5 for PSLV-C59/Proba-3 mission), the Satish Dhawan Space Centre team was quick in raising to the occasion (for Monday's mission),&rdquo; he said.
Surendran said, &ldquo;I would like to congratulate the PSLV team for the successive successful launch of PSLV in a month, it is a record, we have also placed our twin babies in a perfectly circular orbit, as per our requirement.
&ldquo;I am happy to say that our solar panels are successfully deployed and the spacecraft are on their journey and holding their wings towards the docking and it is expected to happen around January first week,&rdquo; he said.
As you are aware the space sector is going through a phase to enable private players to meet the growing demands, as per the policy guidelines, SpaDeX was assembled and integrated here for the first time, he said.
Dubbed as a prelude to the ISRO setting up its own Space Station by 2035, the PSLV-C60 mission would also make India join an elite club in achieving this feat which is expected to take place in the coming days.
The 44.5-metre-tall rocket carried two spacecraft -- Spacecraft A and B, each weighing 220 kg which would help in space docking, satellite servicing and interplanetary missions.
After the culmination of the 25-hour countdown which commenced on Sunday, the rocket lifted off at 10 pm from the First Launch Pad at this spaceport, emanating thick orange-coloured fumes and thunderous sound in the island, located about 135 km east of Chennai.
According to ISRO scientists, the two spacecraft-Spacecraft A (SDX01) or the 'Chaser' and Spacecraft B (SDX02) or the 'Target' would be merged together later at an altitude of about 470 km after travelling at the same speed and distance.
By mastering the docking technologies, ISRO is set to enhance its operational flexibility and also expand its mission horizons.
This technology is essential for some of India's space ambitions like Indian on the Moon, getting samples from the Moon (Chandrayaan-4 mission), and building and operating the Bharatiya Antariksh Station.
"In-space docking technology is essential when multiple rocket launches are required to achieve common mission objectives. Through this mission, India is marching towards becoming the fourth country in the world to have space docking technology," ISRO said.
The others to achieve this technological feat are China, Russia and the US.

Kejriwal accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.

AAP govt will give temple, gurdwara priest Rs 18,000 a month if returns to power: Arvind Kejriwal

Kejriwal accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that if re-elected, his party would launch a 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana' to give a monthly allowance of Rs 18,000 to Hindu temple priests and granthis of gurdwaras.
The announcement comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, with AAP seeking to retain power for a fourth consecutive term.

"Pujaris and granthis are an important part of our society, but they are often a neglected section. For the first time in the country, we are introducing a scheme to support them, under which they will receive a monthly allowance of Rs 18,000," Kejriwal said, adding, registration for the scheme will start tomorrow.
He also said he would visit the Hanuman Mandir in Connaught Place on Tuesday to oversee the registration process for priests there.
Registration will also be done at other temples and gurdwaras across the city by the AAP workers, he said.
Kejriwal also accused the BJP of trying to scuttle several of his party's welfare schemes.
"Just like the BJP tried to stop the Mahila Samman Yojana by sending police but couldn't, similarly they shouldn't try to stop the 'Pujari-Granthi Samman' scheme. BJP will incur a great sin by doing this.
"This scheme is a tribute to their spiritual contribution to society and their efforts to preserve our cultural heritage," he added in a social media post made after the announcement.
The former chief minister did not specify clear guidelines for the registration process.
He said the number of registrations to avail of the proposed honorarium will be made public once the process is completed.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, who also attended the press conference, lauded the initiative.
"When Aam Aadmi Party forms the government in Delhi again, temple priests and Gurudwara granthis who have been preserving and carrying forward our culture and civilisation for generations will be given an honorarium of Rs 18,000 per month. Arvind Kejriwal Ji's decision is not only a tribute to the service of the priests and granthis but also a resolve to preserve our heritage," she wrote in a post on X.
Meanwhile, imams and muezzins of the mosques under the Delhi Waqf Board in Delhi staged a protest outside Kejriwal's residence over the delay in the release of their salaries.
Protestors claimed their monthly honorarium of Rs 18,000 (for imams) and Rs 16,000 (for muezzins) have been delayed for over one and a half years.

A key milestone in India's space programme, the mission will lift off at 10 pm on Monday instead of the originally planned 9.58 pm, ISRO said. However, there was no immediate information on the reason behind the rescheduling.
"Launch Day is here. Tonight at precisely 10 pm, PSLV-C60 with SpaDeX and innovative payloads are set for liftoff," ISRO said in an update on Monday.
"Space Docking Experiment is a pioneering mission to establish India's capability in orbital docking, a key technology for future human spaceflight and satellite servicing missions," the space agency added.
The 25 hour countdown which commenced on Sunday night at 9 pm was proceeding, an ISRO official said.
A cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for in-space docking, it would make India join an elite list featuring China, Russia and the US.
The mission will be launched from the first launch pad at this spaceport here and would carry SpaDeX with two spacecraft as the primary payloads along with 24 secondary payloads.
The in-space docking technology would be essential for taking up India's ambitions in space including sending humans to the Moon, bringing samples from there, and also building and operating the country's own space station- Bharatiya Antariksh Station.
The docking technology would also be utilised when multiple rocket launches are planned to achieve common mission objectives.
ISRO said the two spacecraft in the PSLV rocket-- Spacecraft A (SDX01) and Spacecraft B (SDX02) would be placed in an orbit that would keep them 5 km apart from each other. Later, scientists at ISRO headquarters would try to bring them closer up to 3 metres which would subsequently lead them for merging together at an altitude of about 470km above Earth.
The process is expected to take place about 10-14 days after the scheduled lift-off on Monday, ISRO officials said.
In the SpaDeX mission, Spacecraft A carries a High Resolution Camera, while Spacecraft B has Miniature Multispectral Payload and a Radiation Monitor Payload. These payloads would provide high resolution images, natural resource monitoring, vegetation studies among others.
Apart from this significant mission, scientists would also conduct the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM-4) in which 24 payloads--14 from ISRO and 10 from industry and academia, would be placed in the desired orbits one after the other over a 90 minute period after the lift-off.
The life of the payloads in the fourth stage would be about three to four months. The vehicle for the PSLV-C60 mission used here would be the 18th Core-Alone variant.
This would be ISRO's last mission in 2024 and the PSLV-C60 is the first vehicle to be integrated up to the fourth stage at the PSLV Integration Facility that has been established in Sriharikota.

Delhi Police Deport Bangladeshi Mother-Son Duo for Illegal Stay

During questioning, Naim claimed that financial hardships forced his mother to migrate to India two decades ago, while he followed her in 2020.

Delhi Police has deported a Bangladeshi mother-son duo, of which the woman was staying in southwest Delhi since 2005, officials said on Tuesday.
The deported persons have been identified as Nazma Khan and her son Naim Khan (22), police said.
"The duo entered India illegally via the West Bengal border. While Nazma came around 20 years back, Naim arrived in 2020," Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest), Surendra Choudhary, said.
The mother-son duo was staying in Katwaria Sarai, where Nazma worked as a domestic help, he said.
"During a routine patrol on December 29, police intercepted Naim near the Shastri Market following a tip-off. Naim's interrogation led to Nazma's detention the following day. Both were handed over to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) from where they were deported to Bangladesh," the DCP said.
During questioning, Naim claimed that financial hardships forced his mother to migrate to India two decades ago, while he followed her in 2020.
In a related case, a Bangladeshi national named Mohammad Akhtar Sheikh has been arrested from Sarojini Nagar for staying in the country illegally, officials said.
"Sheikh, who was held in a drug-related case on November 28, was released on bail. However, subsequent address verification revealed his status as an illegal immigrant. Originally from Kochaghata in Bangladesh, Sheikh entered India via West Bengal in 2004," the DCP said.
Sheikh, who married an Indian national in 2012, worked at a construction site in Delhi, he said.
On December 30, he was found near the Sarojini Nagar railway station without any valid documents, following which a fresh case under the Foreigners Act has been registered against him, the officer said.
