NOIDA: Uttar Pradesh Police has initiated steps to deport the Kenyan woman who had faked a racial attack on her by a group of locals in Greater Noida as her visa had expired.

"Maria Burendi's student visa had expired a long time back. We are initiating her deportation proceedings," SSP Dharmindra Singh said.

Burendi was studying business management at Mahatma Gandhi University in New delhi's South Extension area.

She had shifted to Greater Noida recently and was seeking admission in Noida International University.

The Kenyan national had alleged that she was pulled out of a cab and assaulted in Greater Noida. Her complaint came in the wake of racial attacks on Africans by residents of the same place. Later her allegations were found to be false.

Meanwhile, colleges here have told police that 112 foreign students who had failed in their exams some time ago were no longer traceable.

The institutions have been directed to provide details of their foreign students including their visa particulars.
