A Special Investigating Team (SIT) of Delhi Police has found the involvement of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the violence that rocked East Delhi's Seemapuri and Seelampur areas last month.

Delhi Police SIT has identified at least 15 Bangladeshi infiltrators, who allegedly perpetrated the violence in Seemapuri in the nation of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Law (CAA), which seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Sources in Delhi Police said that over 15 Bangladeshi were among the crowd of miscreants in the rioting following the Friday prayers in the Seemapuri area, and have been staying illegally. Sources say arrest likely soon.

The SIT will also interrogate all the accused arrested in Tihar after seeking court's permission. The team is currently looking into the source of funding for the riots, it suspects foreign funds.

The role of around two dozen PFI activists is also under scanner. Their cell tower locations are also being analysed to establish their presence in the areas where riots happened.

Delhi Police has also found that Seelampur violence was instigated by illegal Bangladeshi Muslims. Delhi Police's Crime Branch revealed that the violence was instigated by Bangladeshi Muslims. It informed that an organised group of Bangladeshis (infiltrators), worst hit by the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA), was behind the violence in the Seelampur area.

Several such Bangladeshis with criminal past were instrumental in initiating violence, some armed infiltrators wearing masks set afire the state properties, the police sources said.
