However, upon further inquiry, the team found that the detained foreigners were from different countries. Eight of them are from Nigeria while two others are from Ghana and Ivory Coast, the DCP added further.
On the next course of action, the official said, “The detainees will be produced before the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office).”
The DCP further said that the offenders have been sent to a detention center to initiate proceedings for their deportation under the relevant laws.
Last year, following the LG’s directive, the police conducted a two-month-long crackdown on illegal immigrants residing unlawfully in the national capital, Singh stated.
