Immigration police in Sa Kaeo Province have arrested an Indian national for operating a business selling ice cream without a work permit and overstaying his visa. The arrest took place in the Muang Sa Kaeo area as part of a coordinated effort between local immigration officials and other authorities.

 

On December 13, at approximately 14:45 a team led by Pol. Col. Napattharaphong Supaporn, Superintendent of Immigration in Sa Kaeo Province, along with Pol. Lt. Col. Amornsak Saengwan and Acting Pol. Lt. Col. Pruek Chotiprukchukoon, launched an investigation into foreign nationals violating labour and immigration laws. The team worked alongside the Sa Kaeo Provincial Employment Office and the Internal Security Operations Command of Sa Kaeo.

 

Their investigation led to the arrest of Mr. Mahesh Singh, a 42-year-old Indian national. Mr. Singh was found selling ice cream near the entrance of Ban Lad Krasang Municipal School 2 in Muang Sa Kaeo District. He was accused of operating a business without proper authorisation, which is considered a violation of Thai labour laws, and overstaying his visa.

 

Authorities charged Mr. Singh with violating the Foreigners’ Working Management Emergency Decree of 2017, specifically under Section 8 for working without a valid permit, and Section 101 for engaging in unauthorised employment. Additionally, he was charged with overstaying his permitted duration of stay in Thailand.

 

Mr. Singh was taken into custody for questioning, and officials prepared a detailed arrest report. He was informed of his legal rights before being handed over to investigators at the Muang Sa Kaeo Police Station for further legal proceedings.
