While they were checking the travel documents of the passengers who were about to board the flight in the wee hours of Monday, the immigration officials noticed that one of them, Raja Prabhu of Madurai, was wanted by the Madurai all-women police. They immediately detained him and cancelled his journey. In September, a dowry case was filed against Raja Prabhu. But before the police could arrest him, he absconded. After this, a lookout circular was issued to all airports in India to prevent him from escaping from the country.
