He should be deported

Stuff reports:

An immigrant who tried to rip off his health insurer twice by submitting fake X-rays and medical notes for bogus conditions won’t face deportation as long as he completes a community service sentence.

Earlier this year, taxi driver Umesh Yadav, 30, admitted to two charges of using forged documents in order to claim lump sum payouts from AIA.

Yadav immigrated to New Zealand in 2019 on a student visa and was granted residency in 2022.

Just days after Christmas in the same year, Yadav filed an insurance claim, saying he had slipped in the bathroom and fell on his right hand while visiting India in November, according to the police summary of facts.

He started defrauding the taxpayer within a few months of gaining residency in New Zealand. He should absolutely be deported.
