Aakar Patel, Chair, Amnesty International India, who went to the court and got relief against a Look Out Circular (LOC) Central Bureau of Investigation had issued against him, was again stopped from flying to the United States of America (USA) at Kempegowda International Airport on Thursday night.
After he was stopped at KIA Wednesday morning, he approached a Delhi Court which on Thursday directed CBI to withdraw the LOC issued against him and even directed the agency to issue a written apology to him. Hours later, Mr. Patel’s attempt to fly to the USA was again thwarted. “Have been stopped at immigration again. The CBI has not taken me off their Look Out Circular. Immigration at Bangalore Airport says nobody at CBI answering their calls. Will move court again tomorrow if I have to [sic]”, he tweeted Thursday night.
