Rehanur Rehman was arrested last week from the Cantonment area of Lahore and a case was registered against him for staying in the country.

His visa reportedly expired in the second week of December.

Rehman was on Wednesday presented before a Cantonment magistrate who sentenced him to three-and-half-month of imprisonment for living in Pakistan without a valid visa.

He will be deported back to India after he serves his sentence.
