UDAIPUR: Udaipur police has registered a case against a constable posted in the District Special Branch (DSB) after a German national was found living in his cottage in Osho Dhyan Vihar at Sethji ki Kundal under Goverdhan Vilas police station area on Tuesday.
There are many cottages in the centre. The one in which the foreigner was living is reportedly owned by constable Sajjan Singh. He did not report about her stay to the local police station or the administration even after a fortnight.
Goverdhan Vilas SHO Chena Ram Pachar told TOI, “Kyara Marki had come to India on February 5. After visiting several places, she reached Udaipur on March 18. She had been living in the Osho Ashram since then.
However, Sajjan Singh did not report about her arrival to the local police or the SP office, which is mandatory and more importantly so in the present lockdown situation”.
Germany has over one lakh people infected with coronavirus and 1,810 deaths so far.
Police were tipped off about a few foreigners residing in the ashram. On verifying the register, they came to know about the German woman.
The police have confiscated the woman’s passport, got her screened and medically examined while a case has been registered against the constable under the Foreigners Act, 1946. Under the Act, any hotel, guest house, institute, hotel or others who provide accommodation to foreigners must submit their details in Form C to the registration authorities within 24 hours of the arrival of the person at their premises. This is to help the registration authorities in locating and tracking the foreigners.
