100 foreign students deported from Pune

Since the Mumbai terror attacks, the Pune police have deported around 100 foreign students in the city for security reasons.

“We have deported around 100 foreign students of different nationalities during the drives conducted in the recent months for violating various norms like overstaying their visa limits, extending their student visa for years together, among other reasons,” confirmed Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh.

After the Mumbai terror attacks,the police had requested all colleges to send updated information of their foreign students.These included their addresses, attendance records, vehicle numbers and so on. Singh said that the police came across cases where many foreign students took admission into one institute, failed in that course and shifted to another institute or city. Several students also stayed back after their visas expired.
