It was a honeymoon-cum-pilgrimage for newly-weds Imran Gulam Hussain Sopariwala and wife Kainat this February, which quickly turned into a nightmare, coming to an end only now, after nine long months. The couple was stopped at the Iraq border and Imran taken into custody in an ongoing battle of kidnapping and divorce between Nadia Rashid, a Dutch national, and Shehzad Hemani, MD of Conros Steels and a resident of Bandra. Recently, the Iraq court released him and he returned home on Tuesday.
