Foreigners who faced action, included students overstaying their visa tenure due to poor academic performance; without registration or involved in anti-social and criminal activities.

In 2019, the FRO (Foreigners Registration Office) found that there were 25 criminal cases involving foreigners. The deported foreigners were from African nations, Iran, Afghanistan and a woman from the United States who had assaulted a lady doctor in a burkha.

FRO incharge police inspector Milind Gaikwad said that apart from deporting foreigners involved in various crimes, the FRO had also launched a special drive to trace foreigners who were overstaying in the city and without registration.
