Chartered flight with several Indians sent back to Dubai from Jamaica over document concerns: MEA

"We are given to understand that a chartered flight from Dubai landed in Jamaica with several Indians onboard. They had prior travel and hotel bookings. However local authorities were not satisfied with their documents. They were sent back to Dubai on 7th May," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, as quoted by ANI.

According to local reports, a chartered flight carrying “253 Indians and other foreign nationals” arrived in Jamaica last Thursday. Some of the Indians on the flight claimed they were on a five-day tour, but their itineraries only covered one day.

“For the purpose of the visit they said they were staying five days to tour the island but they had an itinerary for one day,” disclosed one immigration official to The Gleaner.
