The Anti-Narcotic Cell of the South-West District Police in Delhi has detained six foreign nationals who were residing illegally in India without valid visa documents. Fresh deportation proceedings have been started through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Delhi after completing all legal formalities. The action was taken during the investigation of a case registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Vasant Kunj North police station, where six foreign nationals were identified and subjected to detailed verification.
A dedicated police team, led by Inspector Gajender Singh of the Anti Narcotic Cell, South-West District, and supervised by ACP (Operations) Sanghamitra, conducted inquiries based on specific inputs regarding the presence of foreign nationals in the district. The individuals initially claimed to be from Nigeria and Ivory Coast, having entered India on tourist and business visas. However, further verification revealed that all six had overstayed in India and did not possess valid visa documents. They admitted to residing illegally in the country during the verification process.
The detained foreign nationals include Kamassoko Aicha Sylla from Ivory Coast, and Nigerian nationals Promise Okwaje, Maryann Nwanze, Omotola Ishola Sideeq, Emmanuel Chibuike Mmuo, and Nzubechukwu Kenneth Agigaony. Following thorough verification and inquiry, the police completed all necessary formalities and initiated deportation proceedings through the FRRO in New Delhi. The South-West District Police emphasized that this operation underscores their commitment to enforcing immigration laws and addressing illegal residency by foreign nationals in India, aiming to enhance public safety and bolster public trust in the Delhi Police.
