No flight of fantasy this

Kolkata: A 20-year-old woman who left home to marry the man of her choice was detained by police at NSC Bose Airport under unclear circumstances this morning.
Miss Rohini Singh (20) arrived at the airport via an Indian flight from Port Blair accompanied by a friend of one Sheikh Omrah (23) with whom she intended to tie the knot after her father, Mr RG Singh, did not approve of the match. She was booked on the basis of a police complaint by him stating that she had “fled home with Rs 1 lakh.”
The Port Blair police sent a message to West Bengal police which acted on the complaint. Later Miss Singh’s mother arrived with a relative to collect her from the police station.
Miss Singh declares that the charge does not hold good as she is an adult and is free to leave home. She has also denied the “theft” charge.
