Mysuru Police Deport Three Pakistani Nationals After New Orders

Following the April 22 terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, authorities in India issued a directive for Pakistani nationals without long-term visas to leave the country. Acting on this, Mysuru City Police deported three Pakistani citizens residing in the city.

City police commissioner Seema Latkar confirmed that the trio was summoned, informed of the new regulations, and asked to exit India. However, five others holding valid long-term visas have been permitted to continue living in Mysuru until further instructions.

Pakistani nationals are permitted to enter India under 12 visa categories, including business, education, conferences, film shooting, pilgrimage, and tourism. Upon arrival, they must report to the local police within 24 hours and depart before their visa expires.

Officials clarified that none of the Pakistani visitors in the Southern Range — covering Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan, Chamarajanagar, and Kodagu districts — have overstayed their visas recently. Most typically leave two days prior to visa expiry to avoid any legal complications, said DIG Boralingaiah.

The police stressed that compliance remains high among Pakistani nationals residing legally under various visa terms in southern Karnataka.
