A police spokesperson said the arrests came as part of an intensified government crackdown against illegally residing foreign nationals. Hyderabad Police carried out targeted operations in multiple areas of the city and detained the suspects during routine checks. Authorities moved all 14 individuals to a designated holding centre soon after their arrest.
The spokesperson confirmed that officials have started verifying the documents and identities of the detained individuals. Police will keep all suspects at the holding centre until the verification process is complete. Authorities will take legal action against those who fail to meet residency and documentation requirements under Pakistani law.
Police said they are conducting the operations strictly in line with government directives. The spokesperson added that law enforcement agencies have accelerated the process of identifying and verifying illegal residents across the city. Officials said police will proceed with further legal steps once they complete the verification.
The government has stepped up enforcement measures in recent weeks as part of a broader policy to address illegal residency. Police said similar operations will continue in Hyderabad and other areas to ensure compliance with immigration and security regulations.
