Agra (UP): An Iranian citizen was arrested by the police from Achhnera area of Agra district for travelling without a valid visa, police sources said here on Monday.
Police sources said that Behrouz Wali Zadeh, a native of Tehran in Iran, had come to visit Fatehpur Sikri. “After visiting the town he came to a tea stall where he had a dispute with its owner. As the owner of the tea stall was unable to understand his language, he called the police,” they said.

When quizzed Behrouz said that he came with his friends from Delhi,” they said.
Police sources said that information is being collected that why he was staying in Achhnera and from how many days he is staying in Agra.
In-charge of Achhnera police station Anurag Sharma said that a case under the Foreigners Act has been lodged against Iranian youth. “The information has been sent to Iranian Embassy and from there it will become clear that when he came to India and visited how many places,” he said.
