Guwahati: A Canadian citizen involved in proselytizing activities in Jorhat district of Assam was deported to his home country from New Delhi on Friday.
Shwetank Mishra, Superintendent of Police (SP), Jorhat district said the person had been visiting the district since 2021 and his existing visa had expired on January 17 this year.
"He had applied for renewal and during verification, we found that he was involved in proselytisation in Jorhat. We sent an adverse report to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Kolkata," Mishra said.
Accordingly, the FRRO issued a 'Leave India Notice' to the Canadian citizen, which was served to him by Jorhat police.
"To ensure compliance of the notice, our personnel handed him to the FRRO in Kolkata earlier this week," Mishra said.
The Canadian citizen has been sent back to his country from New Delhi now, the SP added.
