Andy family devastated, mother all set to fly in

boards the plane to be with herson.
The green traveller's family is devastated. They can't believe that the 33-year-old can be behind bars, and be considered a threat to national security. Pag had set out on a year-long mission to drive around the world in a biofuel-driven bus to spread the message against global warming.
"It's a difficult time for the family and we are all concerned for him," Pag's elder sister Francesca sobbed on the phone when TOI called her up in London.
"We have been in touch with the embassy official and his legal counsel. We hope he is set free at the earliest as there is nothing to hide.... My mother Lilly has applied for a visa to India and is hoping to reach him at the earliest."
But Pag's mother may not like what she sees. When TOI visited Pag at Ajmer Central Jail on Friday, where he is being held on a 14-day judicial remand since Thursday, the police were hesitant to let the correspondent in. Finally, the permission was granted on the condition that TOI did not report on what it saw there, a clear attempt by overzealous cops to gag the press
