I am absolutely appalled at the behaviour of the immigration officers involved in this incident. I too had to face a strange situation with an immigration officer back in Mumbai about two years ago. As I was going through the channel, the officer at the time refused to allow me entry to my own country!! His reason was the photograph on passport was very dissimilar to my appearance at the time. The photograph on my passport was taken when I was 20, and being a Sikh I had had substantial growth in facial hair since. I am sure even with denser beard I wouldn't be that unrecognisable. I am a resident of Australia, and even the authorities in Austarlia have the common sense not to question the differnce in appearance everytime I pass through the ports. And then comes along an incident like this one, which downright disgusts me. What can I say - Mera Bharat Mahaan.
