Here is another case of our poor little Shilpa Shetty being harrased, but this time by the authorities at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport sometime back on her way to the IIFA function. The emigration authorities refused to let her head for London saying that a `look-out' notice had been issued in her name.

A look-out notice is issued in criminal cases and is served at exit points of a country, alerting security agencies to stop the person, in whose name the notice is, from moving out of the country.

In Shilpa's case, a court in Rajasthan had issued a look-out notice on the actor in an obscenity case. Shilpa had appeared along with Hollywood actor Richard Gere at a charity function in Delhi some months ago, and TV channels blew it out of proportion when Gere kissed Shetty in a public.

The actress apparently had moved to the Supreme Court and got a relief against the lookout notice, this had obviously not been communicated to the security agencies at the airport. Recently, director Anurag Kashyap made Abraham work for 48 hours non-stop because he wanted the actor to look weary and exhausted for a particular scene.

According to sources, when Shilpa reached the CSI airport, she was stopped at the emigration check desk. "We had a look-out notice in Shilpa's name, and there was nothing wrong if the men on duty stopped her," said a senior Mumbai Police official, who did not wish to be named.

Shilpa had to produce a copy of the SC directive, but Shilpa was not carrying it with her.

So after two hours of harrasment her father got a copy of the SC directive following which emigration authorities allowed Shilpa to proceed to UK.
