Illegal Bangladeshis and businesses: Prosecute facilitators

The Goa government has widely publicised that some Bangladeshis were apprehended staying and conducting businesses as illegals.   For such illegal businessess to being conducted in the open, in such a small state; could be mainly due to 2 reasons (1) Absolute complacency and incompetence by the state machinery in keeping regular checks on various businessess in the state and (2) "Money changing hands" with corrupt officials/panchayat members/MLAs/ bureaucrats, etc. Instead of just using these illegals as a PR exercise to get into good books with "Central Govt- Delhi", Can the  government urgently investigate and prosecute the Indian/Goan culprits who helped facilitate this illegal business? Did these individuals have Aadhar Cards/ration cards etc and if so how did they get them?

It's very difficult to conduct illegal business in such a small state if not for the high corruption and incompetence of the state government; which I must add is by the same party ruling Goa, for a decade; which begs the question - is the Goa government not to be held accountable here by Goans in this case?
