Adnan’s mother stopped from boarding flight to Pak

Singer Adnan Sami’s mother, Naureen Sami Khan, 61, on Thursday was stopped from boading a Pakistan-bound flight at Mumbai airport for leaving the country without the session court’s permission. However, Sami’s lawyer said that she has a valid visa and will move the court on Friday regarding this.

When Naureen reached the international terminal 2C, Sahar of Mumbai airport around noon to board her Mumbai-Karachi flight PK-275, the immigration officials did not give her permission to board the flight. “Since she is one of the co-accused in a criminal case, her name is in the lookout circular (LOC). If she has to leave the country she needs the court’s permission. But she did not have the permission. So we have to stop her,” said an immigration official from Mumbai airport.

Adnan Sami’s wife Sabah Galadari had filed an FIR against the singer and her in-laws at Oshiwara police station on May 6, 2009. She alleged that she was subjected to mental harassment and verbal abuse at the instance of her husband. She also claimed that a fraud has been perpetrated on her by Adnan and his parents by fraudulently misappropriating her property.

When contacted Naureen’s advocate Vibhav Krishna confirmed that she was off-loaded. “She travelled under the impression that she has the court’s permission to travel as she had visited Pakistan in June. Her visa expires on November 30 which is yet to come. So, we are going to move the court tomorrow,” he said.
