It
is not uncommon for people from the sub-continent to be detained in
Europe and USA at security check, celebrities and politicians alike.
Actor Amit Sadh is the latest victim of this security scrutiny. The
actor took off for LA on 9th August,14. As tradition state in India,
Amit was carrying quite a few things for family and friends living
abroad. One of these gifts was a Kirpan (Knife) that Amit was carrying for his childhood friend. Amit got this Kirpan especially
for his friend a few months back, when he was visiting Amritsar as he
had specifically asked for it. The Holy Knife was blessed at the revered
Golden Temple.
Little did Amit know that his faith shall be tested once he landed. During the baggage check, the Kirpan was
found. After some initial questing, the actor was asked to wait while
they ‘processed’ his documents. What was supposed to be a routine
flight, turned out to be a 6 hour wait at the airport. Amit could have given away the Kirpan but held onto it and hence his wait at the airport security was so long.
"After
the security check, Amit was asked to wait. Later the security officer
came and asked him for his passport and his bag. They inspected the bag
and removed Kirpan, and they weren't ready to give it back. After a long
wait of 6 hrs, and lot of argument finally they let Amit go with the
Kirpan" says the official spokesperson
After a very long travel and an equally long wait at the airport the actor was finally let off.
