Foreigners Regional Registration Office has already submitted its preliminary report to the ministry. The report, sources indicate, claims that Burney was deported as his papers were not in order.
Burney, who was instrumental in having Indian prisoner Kashmir Singh released, had arrived in India to participate in an anti-terrorism conference involving both the countries in New Delhi. He had arrived here from London via Dubai.
The home secretary met the foreign secretary on Saturday and discusses the matter that is being seen as a major embarrassment for the government.
Talking to TOI from Delhi airport, Burney had said, "This is the most heartbreaking moment in my life... I can't understand how the Indian government could deport a person who is relentlessly working for the good of Indians lodged in Pakistani jails."
Burney said he was not given any reason by the immigration officials but was told to go back to Dubai. Burney had played a major role in securing the release of Indian prisoner Kashmir Singh from Pakistan's Kot Lakhpat Jail.
