New Delhi:
A flier was briefly detained at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) for allegedly stealing the mobile phone of another passenger in the terminal area.
The incident was reported early yesterday when a Bengaluru-bound flier, identified as U Medhi, made a complaint to CISF personnel at the airport that his mobile phone has been stolen during his personal frisking in the domestic terminal of the airport.
The CISF personnel immediately scanned the CCTV footage and found that a passenger identified as D Gautam, arriving from Dammamam, Saudi Arabia, had allegedly picked the mobile from the tray during security check.
"Gautam was intercepted and the mobile recovered from him. He was later handed over to Delhi Police which registered a complaint against him and released him," a senior official said.
