When he asked her, she said she had left through the airport after deceiving the passport officers, and went through without anyone noticing. She was charged with forgery and sent to the prosecution.

Stepfather questioned

A 20-year-old girl told police her stepfather is very inquisitive and interferes in all her affairs, and wants to know when she goes and when she will return.

The girl lodged a complaint, so he was summoned and questioned. He did not deny the charges, but said she is not respecting him, and he is responsible for her because she lives in his house. Investigations are underway.
