CM Sawant told ANI, "20-plus Bangladesh people have been arrested in Goa so far. Search for more will be carried out in other remote villages. They all will be deported to Bangladesh."

CM Sawant said that the Home Ministry had been informed about the issue. "Our police department and DGP were doing the verification of tenants in remote villages.

The process of deporting them has started and we have also informed the Union home ministry regarding this," Sawant told ANI.
