IPS Officer Warns of Stricter Visa Rules for Indians Due to Abroad Behavior Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Arun Bothra, currently serving as Additional Director General of Police (DGP), CID-Crime & Transport Commissioner in Odisha, has raised concerns about the behavior of Indian travelers abroad and its potential impact on visa policies. In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Bothra highlighted the growing trend of Indians damaging the country’s reputation through their conduct overseas, warning that such actions could lead to stricter travel restrictions for Indian citizens. Bothra emphasized that holding an Indian passport is not merely a privilege but a responsibility. He stated, “Having an Indian passport is not just a right. It also comes with the responsibility to respect local laws, behave properly in public, and protect the country’s image.” His comments were directed at addressing the issue of Indians engaging in behavior that could tarnish India’s global standing. He suggested that individuals whose actions abroad bring disrepute to the nation should face consequences, including potential restrictions on foreign travel for several years in severe cases. The IPS officer’s warning was prompted by reports of incidents involving Indian travelers engaging in inappropriate conduct, which he believes could influence visa policies for all Indians. He cited Thailand as a recent example of countries tightening entry rules, noting that repeated instances of such behavior might lead to stricter regulations. Bothra clarified that his primary concern was not the opinions of foreigners but the potential consequences for Indian citizens. He wrote, “No, I am not worried about what foreigners think of uncivilised and uncouth behaviour of some of us.#odisha #thailand #indian_police_service #ips_officer #arun_bothra
