Indian youth sneaks into airport runway to catch plane to meet fiancee
A youth in the UAE sneaked into the Sharjah International Airport runway to catch a plane to meet his fiancee back home. He is not regretting his actions, saying he acted out of love as per a media report said. The youth identified as RK is a 26-year-old Indian Civil engineer. He was arrested by the Sharjah Police after he climbed the airport wall and breached the runway, in an attempt to board a plane without his passport, which was being held by his employer. "I want to say I'm a free man and our life is ours. I did this act because I wanted to travel back to India to meet my fiancee, whatever the price I have to pay," he told reports. During the hearing at the Sharjah Sharia Court, presided by Judge Mahamood Abu Baker, the accused said that on the day of the incident, he left behind all his belongings in his flat, taking only his wallet and went to the airport at night. He also said that, he had not bought a ticket as his passport was being kept by the company he worked for, the report said. He said he decided to take the chance to either try and travel without his passport, or if caught in the process, he would be tried in court, get his passport and be deported from the UAE anyway. He told the paper that he was in a grave situation in the UAE as he loved his fiancee but was unable to go meet her even after approaching his company over 15 times to get permission for a visit home. "I cannot live without my fiancee and want to convince my parents to give us permission to marry," he said, indicating that his parents did not approve of the alliance. But his fiancee's parents do not have any such issues. He was only angry at the fact that his company held his passport against his will, in violation of the UAE law. -PTC News
