Delhi: 6 African nationals without valid visas deported

Six African nationals, who were staying illegally in Delhi without valid visas and passports, were deported. They have been sent to the detention centre at Lampur Border.

Amid an ongoing mission against foreign nationals residing in Delhi illegally, at least six African nationals, who were found living without valid visas and passports, were deported. They were staying illegally in the Dwarka district jurisdiction and were unable to produce valid visas before the officials.

The Dwarka district police launched 'Operation Varchasva' in their mission to make the area crime-free. On February 21, a team was constituted under the same operation to verify the documents of the foreigners. The officials have taken an initiative to crackdown on foreign nationals residing illegally and indulging in drug smuggling and other cyber crimes.

The Cell Against Illegal Foreigners and Narcotics (CAIFAN) of Dwarka asked these African nationals to provide their original visas. However, the visas they had were already expired and they were living in India without valid documents.

The accused have been identified as Peter Nwabuisi, Micheal Chukwuemeka Nnachor, Frank Uche Okechukwu, Peter Eluomuno Okafor, Obana Christian and Celestine Christiane Adiobo.

They were produced before the Foreigners Regional Registration Officers (FRRO) along with their original passports, after which the FRRO ordered their deportation. All the six nationals have been sent to the detention centre at Lampur Border.
