Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents arrested an Indian national for illegally engaging in a money-lending business in Cavite.
BI Intelligence Division Chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. identified the Indian as Bahg Singh, 48, who was arrested by operatives of the BI Intelligence Division Regional Intelligence Operation Unit IV-A and IV-B on Friday in Brgy. Inchican in Silang, Cavite.
Singh was arrested under a mission order issued by BI Commissioner Jaime Morente after receiving a formal complaint reporting the Indian’s illegal activities.
He was reported by the complainant to be running a ‘5-6’ lending business, and was said to be always drunk and would commit violent acts.
During the operations, the Indian was caught in the act of collecting money from a store inside the said barangay. He was also found by BI agents to be undocumented, and was confirmed to be already overstaying.
Morente then appealed to the public to report foreign nationals engaged in illegal activities in their community. “Reporting illegal aliens in your area would allow our intelligence agents to initiate an investigation against them,” said Morente. “We remain relentless in our drive to deport foreign nationals who blatantly disregard our laws,” he added.
Singh will be temporarily held at the BI Warden Facility in Bicutan, Taguig City, pending the resolution of the deportation case filed against him.
