In Mumbai’s Vakola area, a joint operation by the police and Anti-Terrorism Cell led to the arrest of two Ugandan women, Nakayondo Rose (37) and Kemigisa Proscovia (26), for residing in India without proper documentation. The women had been living in Mumbai’s Kalina area for years without valid visas or necessary legal papers. Acting on intelligence inputs, the police detained them as they had overstayed their permitted duration in the country.
Authorities revealed that legal action has been initiated against the women under the Foreigners Act, and the deportation process is underway. This incident is part of a broader effort by Indian authorities to identify and deport foreign nationals living illegally in the country. Law enforcement agencies are intensifying surveillance and verification drives to address such violations and maintain immigration law enforcement.
In a similar crackdown, five Nigerian nationals were recently deported for illegal stay in India, following a series of intelligence-led operations. The authorities are emphasizing the importance of enforcing immigration laws to prevent illegal overstaying, which strains local resources and infrastructure. Recent operations have also led to the deportation of Bangladeshi nationals found residing without proper travel or immigration documents in different parts of India.
Officials are coordinating with relevant government departments and embassies to complete the necessary formalities for deportation. The police are actively working to curb illegal immigration and ensure compliance with immigration regulations to maintain national security and integrity.
