British tourists told to leave India for pasting pro-Palestine stickers in Pushkar

Two British nationals visiting Pushkar on tourist visas were asked to leave India after being found involved in political activities. Authorities have issued a strict warning to foreign visitors against the misuse of tourist visas, especially in popular tourist destinations.

Two British nationals visiting India on tourist visas have been told to leave the country after authorities found them involved in political activities in Pushkar by pasting pro-Palestine and anti-Israel stickers at public places.

The action follows an investigation by the CID unit in Pushkar, which found that the activities violated visa rules that prohibit foreign tourists from engaging in political campaigns or advocacy.

Officials said the notices were issued on February 2 under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025.

According to officials, British citizens Louis Gabriel D and his female companion Anueshi Emma Christine were travelling in India on tourist visas and staying in Pushkar.

On January 21, the two allegedly pasted small stickers supporting Palestine and opposing Israel at various public locations across the town.

After receiving information about the incident, CID officials launched an enquiry and traced the duo with the help of local police. The stickers were removed immediately from public spaces.
