Grounds of countries to deport non-citizens may vary, from finding child porn images on their phone to evidence of planning to stay in the country as illegal alien. Involvement in a crime is another.
Times of India reported on Thursday that two Indian men were deported from China after a Taiwanese girl complained of molestation. The incident happened on July 7 at the five-star Beijing International Hotel.
The two Indians, aged 28 and 50, tried to get friendly with the 17-year-old Taiwanese when they entered the elevator at 10th floor by asking her to have a selfie with them inside the hotel elevator. The two tried to kiss her, so the teen attempted to leave the elevator when it reached first floor, but the two dragged her back to the elevator, pressed 10th floor and the older man assaulted the teen who was in Beijing to visit her sister at Peking University.
When the elevator returned to the first floor, the teen managed to escape and report the incident to the hotel which led to Jianguomen Police picking them up on Friday morning and holding them in a detention camp in the outskirts of Beijing for eight days. They initially denied the accusation but footage from the CCTV inside the elevator was sufficient proof of what they did, which finally led to their admission of the charge and their deportation on Thursday.
The two culprits are employees of a tea company in Kolkata and are married men. One has two children and the other has one grandchild. They belong to a group of tea traders travelling through Shanghai and Beijing, according to Hindustan Times.
