UK local politician to pay hefty fine for hiring Indian student as nanny illegally
LONDON: (Dec 8) A local Labour Party politician from west London has been fined 40,000 pounds after she lost an appeal against an immigration law breach for hiring an Indian student as a nanny illegally.
Hina Mir, a councillor and a qualified solicitor, was found to have hired 22-year-old Himanshi Gongley for 1,200 pounds in cash a month despite her having no legal work rights in the UK, according to a court report in ‘The Daily Telegraph’.
The 45-year-old former deputy mayor for the borough of Hounslow kept the Indian student on call “24 hours a day for six days a week” to look after her two children, the City of London County Court was told recently.
