The lover who went to airport was dressed in a queer burka to meet his lover who was coming from abroad
An individual who actually did not come to board a flight and displayed abnormal characteristics at Katunayaka Airport premises was taken into custody yesterday.
The weird look of this individual who in fact was a male was that this person had stayed near the entrance of arrivals and was dressed in a burka dress which covered his entire body and which is worn
by Muslim females. Anyone has the freedom to be dressed in whatever dress he or she wants; but the police suspected whether this person had come in this manner with the intention of launching some racket.Whatever it is, on checking his body nothing suspicious was found in his possession and the fantastic story he narrated to the police smilingly was that he came this way because he wanted to give a surprise for the sake of fun to his girl friend who was to come to Sri Lanka from Qatar. Since this in fact was a dangerous bit of fun, the police themselves were perplexed and then they were vigilant as to whether such a girl friend really was coming from abroad.
Some hours later as he had said, the police came to know that a lady whom he knew did arrive from Qatar on the UR 665 flight. Whatever it was, what took her by surprise was not only his dress but being in police custody. This young man who tried his hand at playing a prank at a location which was a strict security zone such as the airport was identified as a 30 year old individual living in Colombo 12. In any case the story that baffled the authorities was which may have been a story woven after things went wrong and that suspicion still remained in the minds of the police. Therefore with the motive of checking further on this matter he had been detained for some hours and subsequently released.
