Jaipur, November 3: Serious violations of foreign-national registration requirements have come to light at Hotel Ellora in the Chitrakoot area of Jaipur, officials said on Tuesday, in an IANS report.

An investigation by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) revealed that two Thai women had stayed at the hotel without the mandatory registration formalities being completed. One of them was found staying beyond the validity of her visa, while the other subsequently died at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital, officials said.

According to FRRO official Dharmendra Sagar, a Thai woman had been staying at Hotel Ellora since October 19 despite her visa having expired. The hotel management allegedly failed to inform the police or submit the mandatory online C-Form within the prescribed timeframe.

The investigation also revealed that hotel manager Vipin Maheshwari had not completed the registration formalities required to submit C-Forms, officials said.

Taking serious note of the violations, the FRRO took the woman into custody, and a case was registered against the hotel operator at Chitrakoot police station under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, IANS reported.

During the investigation, officials also found that another Thai woman who had previously stayed at the same hotel had died at SMS Hospital a few days earlier. According to FRRO officials, she too had allegedly overstayed her visa and concealed her identity, and the hotel management had reportedly failed to submit the mandatory C-Form in her case as well.

Officials have not, in the reporting available so far, stated the cause of the second woman's death. The registration and overstay allegations against the hotel operator are yet to be tested in court.
