Chinese Man Detained in J&K for Visa Violations
A 29-year-old man from China named Hu Congtai came to India on a tourist visa.
He was supposed to visit only certain places like Varanasi and Delhi, but he went to places in Jammu and Kashmir like Leh and Srinagar without permission.
He didn't register with the authorities as he should have.
When they checked his phone, they found he was looking for information about the police and a special law called Article 370.
He has traveled to many countries and likes to explore new places.
The officials said he broke the rules and will be sent back to China.
He was also looking at where the police were stationed in the area.
Hu Congtai, a 29-year-old Chinese national, was detained in Jammu and Kashmir for violating visa rules.
He arrived in India on a tourist visa on November 19, permitted to visit specific religious sites.
He traveled to Leh and Srinagar without registering with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office.
His phone search history showed interest in CRPF deployments and Article 370.
He will likely be deported back to China for violating visa regulations.
