Adnan Sami responds to police notice for expired visa

MUMBAI: Only yesterday Adnan Sami was in the news for overstaying in India after his visa expired. Now the Pakistani singer, who was served a notice by the Mumbai police, has responded to the situation. Sami claims that he has abided by the law and followed due procedure, applying for a visa extension on 14 September.

In a statement released by the musician on Tuesday, Sami said “This is to inform all concerned that my visa did expire on Oct 6, 2013. As per standard rules, I had made an application for extension of my visa to the concerned department of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in New Delhi on Sep 14, 2013.”

The famed singer insisted that the Mumbai police were aware of the situation adding, “This is a standard procedure that is followed by all foreigners and I have been following it for the past 14 years. Hence this year is no different. Until the visa extension is granted, I have to be in India as I cannot leave.”

Sami‘s visa expiry date only came to light when his ex-wife Sabah Galadari dragged him to court over possession of a duplex Lokhandwala flat that the singer now lives in with his current wife.
