Mumbai Police arrested four Bangladeshi nationals Thursday for illegally residing in the city using forged identity documents, investigators said.
The suspects were detained in Malad East after a tip led officers to a residence where counterfeit papers and altered address proofs were recovered.
Detectives are tracing how the documents were procured and whether a wider forgery ring supplied similar kits to other undocumented migrants.
Illegal residency cases have drawn renewed scrutiny in Maharashtra as authorities coordinate with immigration officials on deportation procedures.
The four men remain in custody while police expand inquiries into employment networks that may have relied on the fraudulent identification.
