Gurgaon Police Crack Down on Foreigner Accommodation Violations
Gurgaon police took decisive action on Thursday by registering cases against 73 flat owners in Sector 82. These individuals faced legal action for accommodating foreign nationals without completing the required police verification process.
Specific Intelligence Led to Police Action
Police officials received specific intelligence inputs on Wednesday. The information indicated that several foreigners were staying in flats at the DLF Primus society located in the Kherki Daula area. These individuals had not completed the necessary legal formalities for their stay.
A dedicated police team promptly reached the residential society. Officers conducted a thorough verification of records maintained by the society's management. This verification process aimed to check compliance with regulations governing foreign nationals.
Widespread Violations Uncovered During Checks
During the detailed checks, police discovered significant violations. They found that over 70 flat owners had allowed foreigners to stay in their properties. These owners failed to submit mandatory C-Forms to authorities.
More critically, the flat owners did not provide prior intimation to the police about their foreign guests. This notification is compulsory under rules that regulate the stay of foreign nationals in India. The verification of documents revealed clear breaches of legal provisions.
Legal Consequences for Non-Compliance
A senior police officer explained the situation clearly. "Verification of documents revealed clear violations of provisions related to accommodation of foreigners. Accordingly, cases were registered against all 73 flat owners under relevant sections," the officer stated.
The officer emphasized the importance of compliance. Filling a C-Form and informing local police serves crucial security purposes. This process helps authorities monitor the movement of foreigners within the country. Failure to follow these regulations inevitably attracts legal action.
Police have now registered formal cases against all identified flat owners. The action underscores authorities' commitment to enforcing foreign national regulations strictly. This crackdown serves as a warning to other property owners across Gurgaon.
