Jamaican woman faces deportation from Bermuda
HAMILTON, Bermuda (CMC)— A Jamaican faces being deported from Bermuda, a court heard on Tuesday, after the 40-year-old woman denied living in the British Overseas Territory illegally for four months.
Gabrielle Gangadhar pleaded not guilty to the charge when she appeared in the Magistrates’ Court, where the prosecution alleged she stayed on the island without permission between November 2022 and March 2023 and is on remand at the Co-Ed Correctional Facility in St George’s.
Magistrate Tyrone Chin adjourned the case until Friday.
Director of Public Prosecutions Cindy Clarke later confirmed that a deportation order had been issued for Gangadhar, but could not say when the order was served.
