Lucknow: A German national, who was involved in an altercation with a railway employee at Robertsganj Railway Station in Uttar Pradesh Sonbhadra district, has been arrested for allegedly travelling on a forged visa, the police said today.
Holger Erik Misch, a resident of Berlin, had on November 3 entered into an altercation with railway employee Aman Kumar and had also allegedly attacked two policemen with a stick, they said.
"The German national has been arrested. First of all he did not have a tourist visa and secondly he was carrying a forged visa," Superintendent of Police, Sonbhadra, RP Singh told news agency PTI over the phone.
Circle Officer, GRP, Monika Chadha told news agency PTI that non cognisable reports (NCR) were registered on the complaint from both the sides.
The German, according to police officials, may have "anger management issues, depression or some aberration as he was aggressive with a railway employee and also with the police."
"Sub-inspectors Harikesh Ram Azad and Mithilesh Yadav were beaten with a stick by Erik when he got off the police vehicle. Since he is a foreign tourist, he is our guest and that is why we decided not to file a case in this regard against Erik," Inspector, GRP, Mirzapur Samar Bahadur Singh told news agency PTI.
"His passport and visa are deposited in the Chief Judical Magistrate court in Kullu," the police said, quoting Erik.
Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police Sulkhan Singh has issued a list of guidelines to prevent misbehaviour with foreign tourists.
