The Navi Mumbai Police have deported three Pakistani nationals following the Indian government’s decision to revoke all visas except long-term ones, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, police officials confirmed on Monday.
A senior official from the Special Branch of Navi Mumbai Police said the three individuals were minority Hindus from Pakistan who were in India on temporary visas. “They left the same day they were asked to leave. They agreed, and we issued exit visas for all of them,” the official said.
Police data indicates there are about 228 Pakistani nationals currently living in Navi Mumbai, most of whom hold long-term visas.
Last week, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the Maharashtra government ensured all Pakistani nationals on short-term visas were sent back within the given deadline. He further assured that none of them had gone underground and that all would be repatriated by Monday.
