LAHORE: Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency Immigration stopped Indian actress Sharmila Tagore at Wagah Border on Monday for not having a ‘police report’ of her stay in Lahore, TheNewsTribe.com learnt from Indian media.
Tagore, who had come here on a four-day visit to participate in the Lahore Literary Festival (LLF), was escorted by police to get to Wagah Border.
The Punjab government had given her ‘official protocol’ after her meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. However, when she reached Wagah Border the immigration officials told her that ‘police report’ was missing from her travel documents.
On her inquiry that “can’t I go with this document”, the immigration official said ‘No’. An FIA official told PTI that a protocol official accompanying Tagore contacted the police station concerned and arranged the report in about two hours through fax.
