The Department of Immigration and Emigration has arrested 22 Indian nationals who were overstaying their visas in Sri Lanka.
The officials had been observing the suspicious movements of two male Indian nationals last week and questioning them had led to the raiding of a back office of an IT based company.
According to reports, 17 foreigners were found to be overstaying their visit visa, 04 were overstaying their resident visa and another had been overstaying his business visa.
The suspects, aged 25 to 35 years, were transferred to the department’s detention center in Welisara and will be removed from the country shortly.
