Bangladeshi nationals arrested in Delhi after yearlong Goa robbery probe
India
Five Bangladeshi nationals have been arrested after a yearlong investigation into two major robberies in Goa last year.
Police caught them in Delhi during the intervening night of April 14 and 15, 2026, just as they were reportedly planning another heist.
Brought back to Goa for questioning
Goa's crime branch used CCTV and technical surveillance across several states to follow the trail.
The group had entered India illegally through Meghalaya and worked in small teams to avoid getting caught, mainly targeting homes.
One member knew Goa well from a previous jail term, which helped them plan their moves.
The accused have now been brought back to Goa for more questioning and recovery of stolen items, with police likely to charge them under the Foreigners Act.
