Hyderabad: Eight foreigners who were found overstaying were deported by Rachakonda police. Police said the deporting process of four more foreigners is in process. The 12 foreigners who were overstaying were found during a recent survey.

During the survey police found 560 foreigners staying in Rachakonda. 155 of them were not staying at the address given by them. Police said that they could have moved out for education but the house owners were not aware of their whereabouts.

Police also found that owners who rented them houses did not inform the Foreigner Regional Registration Office.

Benarad Njalale of Tanzania, Arnold Dumba of DR Congo, Ace Ozazuwa Urhobo of South Africa, Cheruoa Amani of Congo, Asamu Al Amin Kabir of Nigeria, Maureen Jacksun of Tanzania, Mutuyimana Jean Paul of Rwanda and Christina Jonathan Kigodi of Tanzania have been deported, while the deportation of Altayeb Ibrahem Altayib Doj of Sudan, Samuel Akpan and Akotgam Senam Androw of Nigeria and Yousuf Salman of Sudan is in process.

Police commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat said that owners who rent out houses to foreigners should verify documents and get them registered with the Foreigner Regional Registration Office. “We are sensitising house owners and there is a change now. But If owners still do not follow this process they will face action,” he said. He added that they are coordinating with FRRO and other agencies involved.
