Ash in Bali: Hamid Ansari, CBI team, Chhota Rajan among Indians stuck on the island

Bali: With volcanic ash keeping the airport at Bali closed for the second day in a row, thousands of passengers have had their travel plans thrown out of gear.
Among them is the Indian vice-president Hamid Ansari and his contingent of 97, including officials from MEA, media delegates and Members of Parliament, that arrived in Bali from Jakarta by the special aircraft on November 3.
The contingent was to fly out to Brunei on November 4 before returning to India on November 5 midnight. With the Brunei visit more or less cancelled now, according to official sources, they are now hoping to fly back to India on Friday at least, keeping the return as per schedule.
Another Indian, as much or rather more in the news, stuck at Bali, is gangster Chhota Rajan who was all set to be deported on the night of November 3 but who is still incarcerated at the police detention centre at Denpasar. Along with him also on an extended stay is the team of four from CBI who had arrived in Bali on Sunday to process the deportation.
