Twenty Bangladeshi nationals have been arrested in Goa for allegedly staying illegally without any valid documents, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Sunday.

Speaking to reporters here, Sawant said the arrests were made in different parts of the coastal state over the last one week.

The arrested immigrants, who were found without any valid identity cards, will be deported to their home country, he said.

"The police arrested 20 Bangladeshis staying illegally in the state and search is on for more such persons," Sawant said, adding that the Union ministry of home affairs has been informed to initiate the deportation process.

The chief minister also appealed to people not to rent out their premises without cross-checking the antecedents or filling the tenant verification forms. -- PTI
