"The Chinese national who was detained in Srinagar last week has been sent to Delhi on the evening of December 10 [Wednesday] for onward deportation to Hong Kong," the officials said.

Mr. Congtai, 29, arrived in Delhi on November 19 on a tourist visa, which permitted him to visit Buddhist religious places in Varanasi, Agra, New Delhi, Jaipur, Sarnath, Gaya and Kushi Nagar.

However, he boarded a flight to Leh on November 20 and did not register at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office counter located at the Leh airport.

He was detained in Srinagar last week after arriving in Srinagar on a flight from Delhi on December 1.
