Christian Michel's lawyer Rosemary Patrizi says she fears being arrested

A transit halt in Dubai turned into a chilling ordeal for India’s badminton ace PV Sindhu as regional tensions disrupted global travel. En route to the All England Open Badminton Championships, Sindhu found herself stranded when flights were abruptly suspended. Immigration counters shut. Crowds swelled. Anxiety grew. She recalls hearing repeated loud sounds and seeing smoke, describing the atmosphere as deeply stressful. Safety became her only priority. With help from airport teams and Emirates airline, she managed to return safely to Bengaluru. Sindhu has since communicated with the Badminton World Federation regarding her withdrawal. From championship hopes to airport uncertainty, this is a powerful reminder that even global sports stars are not insulated from geopolitical tremors.
