Iranian security forces on Monday deported 71 Pakistanis. They were handed over to the Balochistan Levies force at the Pakistan-Iran border in Taftan area of Chaghi district.

The Levies' sources on Monday said these Pakistani workers had been apprehended from different parts of Iran by security forces because they were living there without proper travelling documents, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported.

They would be handed over to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for further interrogation after completing initial inquiry, the sources added.
