SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, June 18 (Xinhua) -- The local government in Indian-controlled Kashmir Saturday said two girls who had been detained at New Delhi airport by Indian police were let off.
"The two girls have been questioned by the police over some suspicion and later let off," Naeem Akhtar, a minister informed the region's lawmaking body.
On Friday two girls from the region were detained on New Delhi after police found a label having "bomb" written on it on their luggage. The girls pursuing a course in medical sciences in Bangladesh were returning to Srinagar.
Officials said the girls had boarded a New Delhi flight at Dhaka airport.
Reports said the security agencies questioned the girls for hours together, following which they missed their flight to Srinagar. The security agencies also carried out a background check at Bangladesh and Srinagar.
