Among the detainees, three women and the male agent reportedly resided in the Maldives on work visas. Authorities have since deported one of the women following further investigation, with efforts underway to facilitate the deportation of the remaining individuals.
The operation underscores ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address illegal activities and uphold the country’s immigration and labour laws.
