Maharashtra SIT formed to investigate fraudulent birth certificates for Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in Malegaon

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The **Maharashtra government has established a Special Investigation Team (SIT)** to investigate claims regarding fraudulent birth certificates.
  • This initiative was spurred by **BJP leader Kirit Somaiya’s allegations** of a scam involving local tehsildar and civic offices in Malegaon.
  • Somaiya suggested that nearly **1,000 Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingyas** may have acquired birth certificates improperly, aiding their path to Indian citizenship.
  • The **2023 amendment to the Registration of Birth and Deaths Act** allowed tehsildar offices to issue birth certificates for home births, which Somaiya argues has been manipulated.
  • The **BJP is increasing scrutiny** on illegal immigration in Malegaon, previously alleging connections to distribution of questionable funds.
