The Bangladesh government said that 1,099 of the illegal immigrants are Chinese citizens. Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines have 376, 140 and 131 respectively.

Between November 18 and March 6, 43,168 foreign nationals have returned. The Bangladesh government’s Home Ministry said that a fine of Tk 402.7 million has been collected from them.
