This is from Telegram Bot FAQ -->The bots can receive:

- Service messages (people added or removed from the group, etc.)

And that's with Privacy Mode activated!

Btw by default, we have made our bot in such a way that one cannot add it to any group. :) Its completely personal with anyone who adds @icliniqbot from his telegram app.
