Stowaway released from Jail
Stowaway Habib Husain, who hid in a toilet on an Air India Haj charter flight from Saudi Arabia to return home, was on Saturday released from the central jail here after authorities executed the bail order.
A local court here had on Thursday granted bail to Habib but he could not be released the same day following non-execution of the order from the court of Judicial Magistrate, Sanganer. The order could not be executed by the jail authorities on Friday as it came late.
After his release, Habib told reporters that he will never think about Saudi Arabia again and thanked God for his homecoming. Later, he left for his home in Uttar Pradesh along with his relatives.
Habib, who was working as a cleaner at Medina airport with a Saudi Ground handling company, was arrested here last month and booked under Passport Act for boarding the flight on December 25 without ticket and valid travel documents.
