Stanley Obiora Ibemere was detained by officials of the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) of the Pune City Police’s Special Branch from Kondhwa area on Tuesday.
Stanley was deported and blacklisted on December 25, 2017 for a period of five years, but he came back to India on a passport from another country, and started living in Kondhwa area, according to a press release by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Branch) Mitesh Ghatte.
Stanley was earlier deported and blacklisted for overstaying his visa period and alleged involved in undesirable activities, said police.
