Srinagar: Police have registered a case against a hotel in Pahalgam for alleged violation of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025.
A police spokesperson informed that during inspection, police found that Hotel Golden Heritage, Rafting Point, Yenner, had accommodated two foreign nationals of Thailand. The hotel management “deliberately concealed” their stay and failed to submit the mandatory Form C online, which is required for reporting and registration of foreign nationals.
This act constitutes a clear violation of the provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, which mandates strict reporting of foreign guests by hotel and accommodation establishments. Such lapses pose a serious concern for public safety and security.
Accordingly, FIR No. 79/2025 under Sections 8 and 23(b) of The Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, has been registered against the hotel management at Police Station Pahalgam. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
