Authorities tracked the duo using CCTV footage and local intelligence after reports of the stickers surfaced on January 21. Investigation revealed that the couple had printed at least nine sheets of these political messages at a local press.
The Rajasthan CID issued a formal "Leave India" notice under the Immigration and Foreigners Act of 2025. The deportation was based on two primary factors:
Visa Violation: Tourist visas in India strictly prohibit "political, protest-related, or ideological activities."Public Order: Pushkar is a high-traffic destination for Israeli tourists, hosting nearly 2,000 at any given time and featuring a prominent Chabad House. Officials stated that the activists' actions were "disrespectful to other nations" and posed a risk to local sensitivities.
Additional Superintendent of Police (CID) Rajesh Meena stated that the tourists apologized during questioning but emphasized that India maintains a "zero-tolerance" policy for visa misuse. The couple has been directed to depart immediately and faces potential blacklisting, which would bar them from entering India in the future.
