5,000 Pakistani Nationals In Delhi Identified, Ordered To Leave

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has handed over the list of around 5,000 Pakistani nationals living in the national capital to the Delhi police to ensure these people return home.

The visas of Pakistan nationals have been revoked in the wake of the recent directive of the Centre.

The Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO) has shared the list with a special branch of the Delhi Police, and it was further shared with the district concerned for further verification and identification.

The list includes the names of Hindu Pakistan nationals who have Long Term Visas (LTVs) and are exempted.

“The list has been handed over to the district concerned for verification, and asked the Pak nationals to return to their homeland. Central and North East districts have a high number of Pakistani nationals living in the area,” said a senior official.

The official added that a meeting was called over the matter and the Delhi police have been instructed to take immediate action on the matter. Senior officers are monitoring the situation.

The officers of the special branch of the Delhi police and the Intelligence Bureau have been entrusted to collect information about these Pakistani nationals residing in Delhi and ask them to leave India at the earliest.

Another officer confirmed that they have two lists of 3000 and 2000 Pakistan nationals staying in Delhi. There are certain names that overlap, and it is subject to verification of their stay as many Pakistan nationals have already left.
