The Bureau of Immigration has apprehended an Indian national accused of operating a retail store without the proper working visa in Camalanniugan, Cagayan.
BI intelligence chief Fortunato Manahan, Jr. said 36-year-old Inderjeet Bamdev was arrested inside his store in Barangay Centro Norte.
“It took hours to place Bamdev into our custody as he refused arrest, even bragging he was untouchable because he has lots of friends in the law enforcement services," Manahan said.
Records showed the Indian has been in the country for more than four years without securing the appropriate visa.
He is charged for violating the conditions of his stay and for being an undocumented alien and held at the BI detention facility in Taguig City
