Kerala police to probe Pak pilot's breach

After TIMES NOW reported the incident of a Pakistani pilot of a foreign airline staying in Thiruvananthapuram without the knowledge of intelligence and security forces the Kerala police have started investigating the incident.
Khalid Rasheed, the pilot-in-command of a Gulf-based airline, flew a scheduled flight to the city on May 6 and stayed for a whole day in a hotel in the city allegedly without informing the police or immigration authorities of his stay in the city.
An assistant commissioner with the city police has been entrusted with the inquiry in the case, focussing on how the pilot managed to stay without informing authorities.
After the incident, the Kerala Police said, "We would be conducting a comprehensive probe into all aspects of the case including if there was intelligence failure."
Sources have told TIMES NOW that according to foreigners registration rules as mentioned in the Foreigners registration act, it was the responsibility of the police and its intelligence wing to keep a tab on foreign nationals staying in the city, especially those from Pakitstan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
