2 Pakistani nationals arrested from Gujarat's Junagadh

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

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

Primary investigations revealed that the duo, Bashir Abdullah (30) and Mumtaz were of Indian origin, but had settled in Pakistan.

The two had come to India in 2004 on bogus passports and hid their actual identity, 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.
