Over 200 Bahraini students face expulsion from the University of Pune unless they pay a fine of USD 200 (BD75.600) each, the Al Wefaq National Islamic Society said. The Bahraini students face action for allegedly overstaying their visas.
The Society has now taken up the case with Indian Ambassador Balkrishna Shetty.
“This is the first time that the matter has been brought to our attention,” Shetty was quoted as saying in the Gulf Daily News.
“We do not understand why the students face expulsion or why they are being fined,” the Indian envoy said. “I have urged the society to advise the students to approach the Bahrain Consulate in Mumbai or the Bahrain Embassy in Delhi,” Shetty said.
