Kanpur DIG Prem Prakash said the girl wanted to visit an acquaintance in Delhi,from where she is expected to return to her native country after her visa period in India ends on April 28.

The DIG added that Ghulati did not get the details of his guest registered with the LIU office.

She was a teacher in a Myanmar school and Ghulati,employed with a call centre in Delhi,invited her to India,said Singh,adding that Ghulati had proposed Gigi for marriage and had plans of opening a coaching institute in Kanpur with her help.
