Officials at the Sharjah Department of Naturalisation and Foreign Affairs are investigating the case, Gulf News reported.



Brigadier Dr Abdullah Bin Sahoo, Director-General of the department, said they will study CCTV images to check whether the passenger’s allegations are correct and will then take action.
