Omar Abdullah faces "random" check at US airport
New York, Oct 17 (IBNS): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said he was stopped and had to spend two hours at a holding area at a U.S airport for a "random" secondary check.
The former Chief Minister said he faces the trouble every time he visits the US.
"Another 'random' secondary immigration check upon landing in the US. Thrice in three visits, the randomness is growing tiresome now," Abdullah tweeted.
"I just spent TWO hours in a holding area & this happens EVERY time. Unlike @iamsrk I don't even catch Pokemon to pass the time," he said.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had earlier said he was detained by US immigration department officials at the Los Angeles airport on Aug 12.
