Maharashtra cops arrest Bangladeshi porn star, Riya Barde, for staying illegally in India

THANE: Porn star Riya Barde, also known as Arohi Barde and Banna Sheikh, has been arrested by the Hill Line Police in Ulhasnagar for living in India using fake documents. Riya is accused of being of Bangladeshi origin, and staying in India illegally with her mother, brother, and sister. It is alleged Riya's mother married a man from Amravati for this purpose.
Apart from Riya, police have also accused her mother Anjali Barde, alias Ruby Sheikh, father Arvind Barde, brother Ravindra, alias Riyaz Sheikh, and sister Ritu, alias Moni Sheikh.
Police said Riya was associated with Raj Kundra's production and has worked in many porn movies.
Sangram Malkar, police sub-inspector who investigated the entire case, said, "In the probe, we found that Riya's mother Anjali is a resident of Bangladesh and she was living illegally in India with her two daughters, including Riya, and son. Riya's mother married Arvind Barde, a resident of Amravati, claiming to be from West Bengal. She later got an Indian passport made by submitting fake birth certificates and other fake documents for herself and the children to prove her Indian identity."
Police found that both Riya's mother and father are currently living in Qatar, while the police are also searching for her brother and sister.
Police said Riya was earlier arrested by Mumbai Police under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act in a case related to prostitution.
The matter came to light when Prashant Mishra, a friend of Riya, came to know that she is originally a resident of Bangladesh and is living illegally in the country. He complained about her to the police, after which police investigated her documents.
