A 14-year-old girl was taken from her school in tears and deported to Nepal by German authorities with no warning.

Bivsi Rana, who was born in Germany, was studying in her high school in North Rhine-Westphalia when she was whisked away by Federal Police.

They then deported her and her family to her parent's native Nepal from Frankfurt Airport that very evening.

Bivsi Rana was deported to Nepal - despite having lived her entire life in Germany

It is reported that the family's permit to stay in the country had expired in 2013 and despite numerous desperate appeals to stay in the country, their last appeal was rejected in March 2016.

The asylum application had been denied 15 years ago when they first came to the country.

Daniela Lesmeister, head of the legal department of the city, said authorities had 'no choice' but to deport the family as all appeals had been exhausted and rejected.

Lesmeister continued on saying that by law the deportations cannot be announced to families who are being forced to leave. It is believed this is down to security reasons.

She said all deportations have to take place during the day.

The case shocked Bivsi's classmates, many of whom were left in tears as they watched their friend removed from the school by police

It is reported the girl has an older brother, aged 18, who was not forced to leave the country, but it is unclear why. It is also unclear what the girl's citizenship status is.

Ralf Buchthal, head of the Steinbart school where Bivsi attended said the school were tipped off shortly before and broke the news to the confused teen.

He said Bivsi had broken down in tears after being told she had to go away, responding with : 'What do you mean go away, where should I go then?'

Two of her best friends were also called, for a quick goodbye, as the authorities had already arrived at the school.

Mr Buchthal said friends and classmates were left in shock and have since made posters calling for Bivsi's return.

The school have called in counsellors to help any of the children suffering from the incident.

Bivsi has texted some of her friends to let her know that she's OK

Local media reported that Bivsi's classmates were completely traumatized by the deportation.

Class teacher Sascha Thamm said: 'All the girls were crying, they were not comforting.

'A girl - her best friend - even collapsed, we had to get the emergency doctor.

'Even the guys, who normally behaved rather differently in such situations, were completely finished.'

Mr Buchtal said: 'We had to call a doctor at the end, and we sent our pastor and religion teacher in the class as helping spiritual directors.'

It is reported that Bivsi is still in contact with some of her best friends who she assured via text message, saying: 'I am doing well, don't worry.'

It is believed Bivsi's parents are working on getting the schoolgirl back to Germany.
