  "account": "During a special immigration drive in Hyderabad, 49 foreign nationals were identified for overstaying or violating immigration regulations, with 12 of them deported so far, according to police. The remaining foreigners have been placed in holding centers, and the deportation or removal process is ongoing in coordination with relevant authorities. The operation, conducted by the Special Branch-Foreigners Monitoring Cell along with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, local Law and Order police, and Hyderabad police IT Cell, was initiated on August 31. Tolichowki, Langar Houz, and Mehdipatnam accounted for the majority of the identified individuals, with Tolichowki leading at 30. In addition to overstaying, some of the foreigners were involved in criminal activities, such as drug possession, counterfeit currency, and fraudulent services. Police also uncovered cases where foreigners had overstayed on student visas and worked as translators or intermediaries, collecting service or translation charges. Among the detainees was a Kenyan national involved in prostitution. Foreign nationals with valid passports and visas are allowed to stay in India, provided they comply with visa conditions and Indian laws. Landlords, hotels, guest houses, and service apartment operators have been instructed to verify the documents of foreign tenants and adhere to reporting requirements, including submitting Form III/C.",
