Indians working illegally in Britain have been in trouble, with local authorities detaining non-native Indians during raids.
12 people have been arrested during raids in factories by immigration enforcement.
The Home Office confirmed that 12 people, including a woman, have Indian citizenship, who have been taken into custody by immigration forces.
According to the sources, all the Indian citizens have been found involved in working illegally and violating visa policies.
Acting on a tip-off from the Intelligence Agency, the agency carried out an operation in Tumton, West Midlands, where a factory and a cake factory were raided.
According to sources, 8 people have been released on bail, but the remaining 4 may face deportation from the UK.
In a statement, Anti-Illegal Immigration Minister Michael Tomlinson said businesses would be penalized if they employed undocumented illegal workers.
This operation is a clear example, that we are allowing immigration force across the country.
Earlier in February, the minister had hinted at increasing the fines that would be imposed on illegal workers.
While the fine per illegal worker was increased from 15,000 euros to 45,000 euros.
