The Indian government is deporting several Kenyan women discovered in a Powai hotel with expired tourist visas. They are part of a group of 15 women from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania found during a surprise check by authorities.

• Nine of the 15 women detained were Kenyans who arrived on tourist visas.
• The Powai police allegedly suspect the women were working as commercial sex workers and booked the hotel manager for failing to report them.
• This incident follows a recent case in May where a Kenyan woman was arrested at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) for attempting to smuggle 1.57 litres of liquid cocaine, worth approximately ₹15.71 crore (Ksh238 million).
