On July 17, the Gurugram Police had written a letter to the district administration requesting the establishment of these detention centers. In its letter, the police had cited the Central Ministry’s directive of May 2, 2025, in which the states have been asked to identify Bangladeshis and Rohingyas at the district level. The Union Home Ministry has also formulated a standard operating procedure (SOP) for their deportation. If any Bangladeshi or Rohingya is found living illegally in India, he is to be detained and kept in a detention center. On July 18, detention centers have been set up at four different places in Gurugram. These include the Community Center of Badshahpur, Community Center of Sector 10A, Community Center of Sector 40 and Community Center of Sector-1 of Manesar.
