Indian authorities have deported a Nigerian man, Onyeukwu Victor, for overstaying his visa and alleged involvement in drug peddling.
The Times of India reported that Victor was deported by the Hyderabad police on Wednesday.
According to the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing, he arrived in India on a student visa in 2021 but continued to stay after it expired in 2024.
Victor reportedly contacted drug suppliers and delivered substances to customers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
“While he was moving around in Banjara Hills, we apprehended him. However, no drugs were recovered. During interrogation, he could not provide valid documents or explanations for his stay in Hyderabad.
“Upon thorough inquiry, it was confirmed that he did not hold a valid visa and had been overstaying,” the report stated.
