A Bangladeshi infiltrator who had got a fake voter identity card and a ration card made in his name in Raisen district was arrested on December 5, 1996, the Madhya Pradesh Assembly was informed on Wednesday.
Home Minister Bhupendra Singh provided the information to the House in a written reply to a query by Vel Singh Bhuria of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
He said that Bangladeshi national Kamlesh Sarkar had opened a medical shop in Raisen and was working as a quack. His registration issued from West Bengal's 24 Parganas district was found to be fake. No Bangladeshi infiltration has been identified in the state in the past three years.
