They were escorted to the Springlands Police Station.

The occupants of the hire car were identified as 19-year-old Gurlall Singh Bajwa of Dareilly, India, 36-year-old Hardeep Singh, a farmer of Chandigarh, India, 23-year-old Baldev Singh, a farmer of Dehradun, India and 22-year-old Gurjit Singh of Jalandhar, India.

Police said checks on Republic of India passports show that all eight of the Indian nationals arrived in Suriname between May 18 and May 27, 2024, and entered Guyana without presenting themselves to an Immigration officer.

After being processed by police, the men were handed over to the Immigration Department and were sent back to Suriname, the last country, which they visited legally.
