Agra: An Iranian citizen was arrested by the police from Achhnera area of Agra district for travelling without a valid visa, police sources said here on Monday.

Police sources told UNI that Behrouz Wali Zadeh, a native of Tehran in Iran, had come to visit Fatehpur Sikri.

"After visiting the town he came to a tea stall where he had a dispute with its owner. As the owner of the tea stall was unable to understand his language, he called the police," they said.
