The UK government has fined over 10 Indian-owned businesses, primarily restaurants, for employing illegal immigrants. Rajpoot Indian Restaurant in Devon faced the largest penalty of £80,000. The total fines amount to £265,000, with other notable penalties including £40,000 for Akash Tandoori in Essex and £20,000 for Sunu’s Kitchen. The crackdown is part of the UK's intensified efforts to enforce immigration laws and reduce illegal immigration. In 2023, over 1,500 Indians crossed the English Channel, seeking work and asylum. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized plans to strengthen border security and target businesses hiring workers illegally.
