Tuticorin/New Delhi: Ahmed Adheeb Abdul Ghafoor, who was the former Vice President of Maldives, was denied from entering India after he reached the country via sea route without any valid document.
A media report said, there was no news about Adheeb‘s arrival beforehand and that he was also not entering through a designated point.
Adheeb was not allowed to deboard and was being questioned by Central government agencies. A media report quoted MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar as saying, “There are designated entry points through which foreigners are allowed entry into India. The entry is facilitated on the basis of appropriate valid travel documents.”
The vessel in which Ahmed Adheeb arrived had nine crew members and he is now expected to return back as he did not possess valid documents.
