Kangra. The local police in Global City McLeodganj have arrested two foreigners without visa. Both have been identified as Yulia Julanova and the man Denis Larin. Both are said to be of Russian origin. Both were living in tents in the forests of Global City McLeodganj for the last several years. The woman’s visa had expired in 2015 while the man’s visa expired a few months ago this year. The police have arrested both of them and started further action.
After these foreign tourists were caught without visa, everyone’s ears have become alert. The question on everyone’s lips is how can a foreigner live in a tent without visa for so many years. Why did no one have any idea about this till now? According to Dharamshala Bar Association President Tarun Sharma, this is shocking in itself that foreign tourists have been living here without visa for years. How did the local administration including our security agencies not have any idea about it? This is a serious matter and it should be investigated thoroughly.
On the same issue, Dharamshala Municipal Corporation Mayor Neenu Sharma has held the SP office responsible for this matter because she believes that the police has the bio data of all the foreign tourists who come here. When their visa was cancelled, why was they not searched till now. She appealed to all the foreign tourists coming here to get themselves registered as soon as they arrive, otherwise she will have to take strict action against them in such a situation.
While sharing information about the arrest of foreign tourists, SP Kangra Shalini Agnihotri said that action has been taken against both of them under the Indian Judicial Code applicable to foreigners.
A case has been registered against two foreigners living in McLeodganj despite their visas having expired and they have been taken into custody. McLeodganj police have registered a case and started further investigation. According to information received from the police, a woman of Russian origin Yulia Julanova and a man Denis Larin were living in Hari Bawari near the forest for the last two months.
