Speaking to the publication, a senior police officer at Bengaluru airport police station said, “Tamil Nadu police issued a look out notice on Wajid from last few years and the immigration officers found him while boarding an IndiGo flight to Thailand. When the officers cross-checked his documents, there was a look out notice and he was detained late.”

Wajid was later sent to Chennai as the officials kept Chennai police informed about his detention. “Chennai police flew down to Bengaluru and took Wajid along with them. Wajid had paid most of his debt and he does not have any issue in going back to his hometown,” a police officer was quoted as a saying.
