Pakistani Singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Deported From Hyderabad Airport

HYDERABAD:  Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was deported soon after he landed at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport here for not fulfilling immigration conditions. The singer, who had directly landed here from Abu Dhabi to participate in a programme organised at a city-based hotel last night as part of the New Year eve celebrations, was sent back as Pakistani nationals are only allowed to enter the country through Delhi and Mumbai, according to officials. Mr Khan then took a flight to Delhi and came to Hyderabad for his performance. The singer, 42, today faulted the airlines for the fiasco and said the authorities were only following the rules.
