Bangladeshi YouTuber and Actress Shanta Pal Arrested in India for Possession of Fake Documents

Bangladeshi YouTuber and Actress Shanta Pal Arrested in India for Possession of Fake Documents
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a significant crackdown on identity fraud and illegal immigration, Indian police arrested Bangladeshi model, actress, and YouTuber Shanta Pal in Kolkata. The 28-year-old, known for her bold online presence and rising social media fame, was taken into custody after authorities discovered a cache of fake Indian identity documents in her possession. The arrest has sparked debates on cross-border visa regulations, the misuse of digital platforms, and growing concerns over forged identity networks operating in major Indian cities.


Who is Shanta Pal? A Rising Digital Celebrity from Bangladesh

Shanta Pal is a well-known Bangladeshi content creator, recognized for her work as a model, actress, and YouTuber. Over the last few years, she built a sizable following on social media platforms, primarily for her bold fashion shoots, lifestyle vlogs, and controversial content. With thousands of subscribers and millions of views across platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, she carved a niche for herself among South Asian youth audiences, particularly in Bangladesh and parts of India.

Her content often featured themes of beauty, fashion, music videos, and lifestyle updates. Shanta also appeared in a few low-budget web series and short films. Many of her fans were reportedly unaware of her living situation in India and the legality of her immigration status.


Arrest in Kolkata: Details of the Operation

According to reports from the West Bengal police, the arrest took place in Kolkata’s Bikramgarh area, a residential neighborhood that has seen increasing scrutiny in recent months due to a rise in illegal immigration and document forgery networks.

Authorities raided Shanta Pal’s rented flat based on intelligence inputs and found multiple forged Indian identity documents, including:

  • Two Aadhaar cards
  • One voter ID card
  • A ration card
  • A PAN card

All the documents were registered under different names and addresses across West Bengal. Police believe she had been using these forged documents to live, work, and possibly engage in financial activities within India.

During the arrest, officers also recovered multiple Bangladeshi passports, suggesting an attempt to create a layered false identity system. According to preliminary findings, Shanta Pal entered India in early 2023 on a short-term visa, which expired months ago. Despite this, she continued to live in the country without legal permission.


Illegal Stay and Forged Documents: What the Police Say

The arrest took place during a routine document verification drive, which the West Bengal police have increased in certain high-risk neighborhoods. When asked to produce her valid visa and immigration documents, Shanta failed to provide any legal paperwork to justify her stay in India.

Upon further investigation, officers discovered that Shanta had allegedly used a network of brokers and middlemen to acquire fake Indian documents. The forged documents allowed her to blend in with the local population, rent accommodations, and potentially access banking and telecom services reserved for Indian citizens.

Police officials have stated that the document forgery ring may be part of a broader transnational criminal network operating across borders — one that enables illegal immigrants to obtain false Indian identity credentials for various purposes, including employment, education, and long-term residency.

An official source from the local police department stated:

“This is not an isolated case. We believe that the arrested woman is part of a larger network involved in creating and distributing fake Indian identity documents. We are working to trace the source of these documents and the people involved in this racket.”


Impact of the Arrest on Indo-Bangladeshi Relations and Security Policies

While this may seem like a minor incident on the surface, the arrest of a high-profile Bangladeshi social media influencer in India has raised broader questions about border security, immigration control, and the monitoring of foreign nationals overstaying their visas.

India and Bangladesh share a long, porous border stretching over 4,000 kilometers, and despite bilateral efforts to curb illegal migration, cross-border movement — legal and illegal — remains a persistent challenge.

Authorities in both countries have worked together on visa tracking, border surveillance, and data-sharing protocols, yet cases like this highlight the loopholes that still exist, particularly in urban areas where migrants can easily assimilate and obtain falsified documents.


Shanta Pal’s Rise to Fame: The Digital Persona Behind the Headlines

Before her arrest, Shanta Pal was known in online circles for her glamorous photo shoots, lifestyle blogs, and sometimes controversial online behavior. She had amassed tens of thousands of followers who followed her for her unique style, makeup tutorials, travel vlogs, and behind-the-scenes videos from photo and video shoots.

Her digital content had recently started gaining traction in Indian digital spaces as well, especially among Bengali-speaking communities. It is now suspected that she may have leveraged her online popularity to gain access to sponsorships and brand partnerships, which could have benefitted from her false Indian identity.


Legal Proceedings and Current Status

After the arrest, Shanta Pal was presented in a local Kolkata court, where the judge ordered her to remain in police custody for further interrogation. Law enforcement agencies are now examining her digital footprint, financial transactions, and communication records to uncover:

  • The extent of her connections with document forgers
  • The scale of the racket she may be involved in
  • Whether she had any accomplices or contacts within official institutions

It is likely that charges will include forgery, identity theft, violation of immigration laws, and potentially conspiracy if a wider network is unearthed.

If convicted, Shanta Pal could face several years in prison under Indian penal codes and immediate deportation upon completion of her sentence.


Public Reaction: Shock and Criticism

The news of Shanta Pal’s arrest has sent shockwaves through both the Bangladeshi and Indian digital communities. Social media platforms are flooded with mixed reactions — while some fans express disbelief and support for the influencer, others have criticized her for misusing the hospitality of another country and undermining legal protocols.

One fan tweeted:

“I followed her for years — can’t believe she was living illegally. Really disappointed.”

Another user commented:

“India should tighten its immigration checks. If influencers are doing this, imagine what others might be up to.”

Bangladeshi media outlets have also picked up the story, with several journalists calling for a thorough investigation into how Shanta managed to enter and stay in India despite expired documentation.


Fake Identity Networks: A Growing Threat

This incident also highlights a larger issue plaguing not just India but many countries: the proliferation of fake identity networks. These syndicates operate across borders, exploiting digital tools, social engineering, and corrupt intermediaries to create entire false identities for a fee.

Forged documents such as Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and voter IDs are increasingly being used for illegal:

  • Employment
  • Bank loans
  • SIM card registrations
  • Property rentals
  • Online verifications

The Indian government has been working on strengthening biometric security, digitizing verification processes, and integrating visa tracking systems, but human oversight and loopholes still allow some cases to slip through.


Conclusion: A Cautionary Tale for Digital Celebrities and Authorities

The arrest of Shanta Pal, a digital influencer and Bangladeshi national, in India for possessing multiple fake documents, is not just another legal case — it is a cautionary tale about the dangers of illegal immigration, identity fraud, and online deception.

As law enforcement continues to investigate the matter, this case also serves as a wake-up call for digital platforms, governments, and audiences alike to demand more transparency, accountability, and respect for legal boundaries.

Whether this incident leads to further arrests and policy tightening remains to be seen, but for now, it has certainly shaken the foundations of digital fame built on false documentation.
