New Delhi, July 21
A United States (US) national on Sunday was apprehended by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport for allegedly using a fake ticket to enter the terminal area.
Kasi V Malla was apprehended around 12.30 am by the CISF as he was found suspiciously roaming in the terminal area and attempting to leave the Terminal-3 (T3) building of the airport, the official said.
The man, holding a US passport, was stopped and questioned as exiting the terminal area was not allowed under normal circumstances, he said.
The passenger told the CISF personnel that he used a "cancelled" ticket to enter the terminal area to see off his wife and children who were travelling to Zurich in Switzerland, said the official, adding that the passenger had been handed over to the police. Entering an airport terminal without a valid ticket is illegal under Indian aviation rules. — PTI
