Maidstone: Immigration raid at Mughal Dynasty Indian restaurant

An Indian restaurant has been raided by immigration officers exactly two years after being fined £50,000 for employing illegal workers.

The packed Mughal Dynasty, on London Road, Maidstone, was targeted last night.

Two Home Office vans parked outside the venue last night. Visas were checked but no one was arrested.
