Love-struck Lankan woman creates a scene at Chennai airport

Chennai:A love-struck Sri Lankan woman, who came to India two years ago with a fake passport in search of her lover she worked with in Kuwait and was jailed, on Saturday created a flutter at the Chennai airport when she resisted deportation, forcing a Colombo-bound plane to leave her behind.
Police said Hanifa Nisha Rani, who was jilted by an Andhra co-worker in Kuwait, came after him with a fake Indian passport and was arrested in Hyderabad. Subsequently, a court sentenced her to three years in jail. Thanks to her good conduct, the sentence was reduced to two years and a court in Kadappa directed that she be deported to Sri Lanka after issuance of an emergency visa.
Two policemen from Andhra Pradesh brought her to Chennai to be sent to Colombo. However, after getting the boarding pass, Rani refused to go and even tore the travel documents.
She pleaded with police officials and airline staff to allow her to stay in India so that she could continue the search for her lover. The police team took Nisha to the Sri Lankan deputy high commission in Chennai.
