A court in Navi Mumbai convicted two Bangladeshi nationals, Haidar Ali Ashraf Ali and Fatima Gofar Shaikh, for residing in India without valid passports, violating the Passport (Entry Into India) Rules, 1950. Though accused of forging identity documents, the court did not uphold these claims. The sentence was 11 months imprisonment and a fine of ₹500, offset by nearly 11 months already served in custody. The court emphasized the accused had no criminal records or involvement in anti-social activities. It directed the Navi Mumbai police chief to coordinate their deportation through the Bangladesh Embassy.
