Steps to blacklist Pakistani cricketer for visa rule violation
The State government has taken steps to blacklist Pakistani cricketer Muhammed Junaid Khan under the visa rules for coming to Kochi on a tourist visa and acting in an advertisement film, Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan has said.
The Minister stated this in reply to a submission by Deputy Leader of the Opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan in the Assembly on Monday. Mr. Balakrishnan, while drawing the Ministers attention to media reports about the alleged visa rule violation by the cricketer, noted that the film was shot in a place considered as a high security zone.
The Minister said Mr. Khan had arrived in Kochi on June 28 and, after the shoot of the film the next day at the Thejomayi Building at the Infopark, left the State on June 30.
The police had filed a case under the relevant provisions of the law against one Kunhabdullah who had sponsored Mr. Khans visit to the country and also one Krishnakumar, coordinator of the film unit.
Absconding
Staff Reporter writes from Kochi: The Kochi city police are still on the look out for the two persons who brought in Mr. Khan.
Police sources said that Kichu Films, the production company that brought in the Pakistani cricketer for the commercial shoot, did not have an office in the city and the two involved had been absconding since then.
There were media reports that the local police had been alerted about the visit of the Pakistani cricketer to the city for the shoot of a television commercial. However, police sources said that no such information was provided to them and they came to know about the visit of the cricketer only after his departure.
