India continues to struggle with the tourists, violating visa regulations. In May this year in the state of Goa, was sentenced to a fine of $ 200 a year in prison and Russian Alexander Solomin, who tried to leave the country on an expired visa. On Saturday, a representative of the Russian Consulate in Mumbai, announced a new similar case. Recently, in the north of Goa, was arrested by Russian Ilya Rusanov tourist whose visa and passport at the time of arrest were valid for two months. According to the embassy, ??this tourist and sentenced to one year imprisonment and fined 10,000 rupees ($ 215), reported Turprom. Travelers with expired visas - a phenomenon not uncommon in India. Most often in such cases, the Russian tourists remain in the state of Goa, as well as in Manali (Kulu), Rishikesh, Haridwar, Darmsale and Vrindavan. But earlier stay in Goa with expired visa ended with expulsion from the country and a fine not exceeding $ 100. This year, India has tightened severely punitive measures. The authorities explain that foreigners should not take for granted the Indian hospitality, but they must respect local laws and justice system. "Such offenses are committed against the people of India and therefore belong to the category of particularly serious crimes," - said the court decision.
