They were reportedly denied entry after they failed security screenings at the airport.

The agency’s corporate communications unit told Bernama that the arrivals were denied entry to the country as a result of detailed checks of over 400 individuals in a special seven-hour operation targeting high-risk flights.

The denied foreigners included 80 Bangladeshis.

“Those denied entry were all men, 80 Bangladeshi, 10 Indians and nine Pakistani. They were denied as they failed to meet immigration checks, including having suspicious reasons for visiting and travel records," the agency said in a statement as quoted by Bernama.

“They underwent further documentation processes before being deported to their countries of origin according to existing legal procedures,” the agency said.
