Two Kashmiri girls, returning from Bangladesh where they are pursuing MBBS, were detained Friday afternoon at Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi.
Jammu and Kashmir Police has taken up the matter of detention of two Kashmiri girls at Delhi airport with the Delhi Police and sought their early release.
“We are in touch with Delhi Police and hope the girls would be set free soon,” a senior police officer told Kashmir Post.
Two Kashmiri girls, returning from Bangladesh where they are pursuing MBBS, were detained Friday afternoon at Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi.
“Four girls were returning from Bangladesh. They travelled safely from Dhaka to Kolkata and then to Delhi in different flights. Their luggage was checked and cleared at all the airports,” their parents said.
“But when they reached Delhi Airport today morning to board their flight at 12.45 pm, police at the Indira Gandhi airport detained all four. Thereafter, they released two and detained two among them,” the parents said.
The parents alleged that the girls were detained as one of their bags had a label ‘Bomb’ written on it.
“The airport authorities did not inform us about them as yet. We fear for their safety,” the parents said.
