Malpe: Eight Bangladeshis held for illegal stay
Udupi (Karnataka), Oct 12: Eight Bangladeshi nationals who were staying illegally in Udupi district here were apprehended, police said on Saturday.
They were residing in Hoode village in the district for the past three years without valid passports or visas.
According to Udupi Superintendent of Police Arun K, the arrest came after one of the accused, identified as Mohammed Maniq, attempted to flee to Dubai from Mangaluru airport using a fake passport.
Suspicion from immigration officials led to his arrest at Bajpe airport in the neighbouring Dakshina Kannada district, he said. "Upon interrogation, Maniq revealed that seven other Bangladeshi nationals were staying with him illegally in Hoode village."
