It is a pity that such an incident occured especially when a French national was given favour to an Indian. This explains why our country is still a developing nation. No point of abundance in intelligence if there exists selfish attitudes.
When I was travelling once,it was quite bemusing to notice that the Mumbai immigration officer asked for my UK visa after I just returned from there.
For Heaven's sake or even Santa's sake, these are questions one needs to ask before u travel to a foreign country not after u come back !!!
