Bollywood star held in US

INDIA reacted with outrage yesterday after Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said he was detained for questioning at a US airport, though immigration officials denied he was formally held.

Fellow Indian film stars and political leaders condemned what they called “humiliating” treatment given to Khan, a Muslim who is well-loved in a largely Hindu country.

One cabinet minister suggested a “tit-for-tat” policy toward Americans travelling to India.

Khan said he was detained by officials at Newark Liberty International Airport.
