ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police have arrested an Indian national for not possessing travel and visa documents.

Sheikh Nabi Ahmed, who hailed from Jogeshwari East in Mumbai, was taken into custody on May 19 after he failed to produce any travel or visa documents.

Has India's judge at ICJ committed a mistake by expressing his 'delight' on order?

Police said the Indian national was walking along Nazimuddin Road in Sector F-8 when he was stopped at a police check post. Police demanded to check his visa documents after he told them that he was an Indian. However, Ahmed could not produce any document and was taken into police custody.

Margalla police booked him for illegal entry and stay in the country under Foreigners Act 1946 and a judicial magistrate sent him to jail on judicial custody remand.
