According to the report, the two offenders, both 24 years old, were apprehended on Friday in Khidukpada hamlet in Nadve, Panvel, according to a cyber police statement.
ATS personnel assessing in the Khidukpada region spotted the two people living in a chawl. When questioned, they were unable to provide any valid documents proving their presence in the nation.

A case was filed against them on Saturday under the Passport (Entry into India) Rules-1950 and the Foreigners Act.
According to the official, local police have launched an inquiry into the arrestees' activities and any potential connections to illegal immigration networks.

The police's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested the men during a raid at Khairane village around 7 am on Saturday, the official had said.
The men, Kamal Riyaz Choudhari (41), Kamrun Kamal Choudhari (19), Sohel Afrar Khan (24) and Alamgir Oli Kiryara Sheikh (38), did not possess any valid documents to reside in the country, the police had earlier said.
