Ahead of Republic Day, Gurgaon police intensify crackdown against lodging foreigners without necessary form

Officers said the largest operation took place on January 14, when the Kherki Daula police, acting on specific intelligence, inspected DLF Primus Society in Sector 82.

Examination of society office records revealed that 73 flat owners had accommodated foreign nationals without submitting Form C or notifying the police. Cases were registered against all 73 under relevant sections, and the investigation is ongoing.

Arrests in Gurgaon

This, officers added, follows a string of similar actions in recent weeks.

On January 13 and 14, officers from the Sadar police station arrested two hotel managers, Visarjan Ahlawat and Sheikh Fajjul, after they found two foreign nationals staying without Form C or intimation at the Bloom Hotel in Sector 38, and the Royal Guest House in Sector 39.

On January 12, the Rajendra Park police arrested Ashmit Grover for hosting six foreign nationals at a flat at M3M Woodshire Society in Sector 107, without compliance.

On December 28, 2025, the Sushant Lok police arrested Jitendra Kumar, the manager of Flex House Horizon One Hotel at Sector 43, after four foreign nationals were found there without a Form C or police notification.

Officers reiterated strict instructions to all accommodation providers, including hotels, guest houses, homestays, PGs, and private flat owners, to register on the FRRO portal if required, submit Form C promptly for every foreign guest, and inform the concerned police station.

The police said non-compliance will invite firm legal action, highlighting the critical role these measures play in internal security, law and order, and monitoring of foreign visitors.

Meanwhile, the Gurgaon traffic police Tuesday issued an advisory restricting the entry of medium- and heavy-goods vehicles into the city and Delhi to ensure smooth traffic flow during the national celebrations.
