Five Indian nationals who arrived in Grenada via a flight from Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport have been detained after being found guilty of using falsified passports. The individuals, consisting of one male and four females, were arrested on Monday, 6 September 2025, by officers from the Immigration and Passport Department of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF). They were charged under Section 36, Subsection 1 (a) of the Immigration Act, which criminalizes the fabrication or use of falsified documents for unlawful entry or stay in Grenada. The accused, identified as Malkesh Patel (35), Arati Patel (27), Nidhiben Patel (31), Ishita Patel (24), and Ashikaben Gajjar (24), pleaded guilty during their first court appearance at the St George’s #1 Magistrate Court on Tuesday, 7 October 2025. Each was fined $6,000, payable immediately, with a default penalty of four months imprisonment. As of 9 October, the fines remained unpaid, and the individuals were transferred to Richmond Hill Prison. Upon completion of their sentence or payment of the fine, they will be deported from Grenada. Authorities have not confirmed whether the group is linked to human trafficking.
