Immigration officials at the Tribuwan Internatioanl Airprot have deported a wrong Tibetan man.
According to Kantipour daily, Nepal barred an American citizen, Penpa Tsering, from entering Nepal after officials at Tribhuvan International Airport suspected him of being an agent of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama. But Nepali officials ended up deporting the wrong man, mistaking him for the former representative of the Tibetan Administration to the United States, who shares the same name. The ‘real’ Penpa Tsering, was in Dharamsala in India.
The officials deported him after the Minister for Home Affairs Ram Bahadur Thapa, Secreatery Prem Kumar Rai and Director General of Immigration Ishwor Paudel decided send him to the country of origin.
