Pakistani visitor who came to watch Mohali match goes missing
In what could be a repeat of the 2005 one-day Mohali match between India and Pakistan after which 11 fans from across the border had gone missing, security agencies this time are on the lookout for a Pakistani national who had come to watch the India-Pakistan World Cup semi-final in Mohali, but has not gone back despite his visa expiring three days ago.
According to highly placed sources, the Intelligence Bureau is trying to track 66-year-old Ali Zameer who belongs to Karachi. He was issued a 15-day visa for Mohali, Delhi and Mumbai.
Ali reportedly stayed in Chandigarh and after the match went missing. He was scheduled to watch the Mumbai match. The central intelligence agencies checked about his presence in Lucknow as there was a tip-off that he might have some relatives there, but he did not visit Lucknow, said an intelligence official, adding that all airports have been alerted to keep a tab on him.
Zameer, whose visa lapsed on April 7, was amongst the 285 Pakistani fans who arrived in India via Wagah border to watch the World Cup semi-final in Mohali on March 30.
In 2005, 15 Pakistani fans who had come to Mohali to watch the India-Pakistan match had gone missing. While four of them were traced, there is still no word on the remaining 11.
