2 Pak nationals held for illegal stay

Two Pakistani nationals, including a woman, were arrested from Junagadh for staying in India illegally, police said on Monday.

Acting on a tip off, Junagadh Special Operation Group (SOG) arrested the duo last evening near the police headquarter, they said.

Primary investigations revealed that the duo, Bashir Abdullah and Mumtaz were of Indian origin but settled in Pakistan.

The two had come to India in 2004 on a fake passport and since then they have been living in Junagadh, police said.

Their passports have also been seized in which they have been named as Farooq Iliyas and Mehrunisa.

Both have been booked under the Passport Act and Foreigners Act, police said, adding they would be produced before a local court for remand later in the day.
