Yemeni man held for overstay; gets 3-day judicial custody

A Yemen national was arrested here and sent to three-day judicial remand by a local court today for allegedly overstaying in the country after the expiry of his visa.
The accused, identified as Shiekh Khalid Ibrahim Khadmi, was arrested last night by officials of Bhainsdehi Police Station under Section 14 (a) of the Foreigner Act, Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) H L Mehar said.
"Khadmi had arrived at Bhainsdehi town in the district from Maharashtra's Akkalwadi area on January 4 for taking part in a function related to a madarsa and a masjid," he said.
His visa was found to be expired on December 6, Mehar added.

"When police came to know about it, he was initially detained but was formally arrested late last night," Inspector General (IG) Satish Chandra Saxena said.
The authorities have also informed Yemen Embassy and the concerned officials at the Centre about the issue.
Khadmi was today produced in the court of Bhainsdehi area Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Prakash Uike that remanded him to three-day judicial custody.
