Tamil actress and Congress leader Khushboo has filed a case in the Madras High Court against authorities who denied her passport citing pending criminal cases against her. It is said that the actress and Congress spokesperson's passport had run out of pages and she had applied for attachments. The 'Kolangal' actress was in for a rude shock when she applied for a new passport and was denied.
Authorities said she had criminal cases against her. In her court petition, Khusboo said that during the last election campaigns, criminal cases were filed against her in Madurai, Theni, and Dindigul, for illegal gathering of people and disobeying a government office. She has procured a stay against these cases in the Madurai branch of the High court and has gotten an anticipatory bail. The mother of two has asked the court to direct the Regional Passport Office to issue her a passport as she is unable to travel abroad.
