Four Air India SAT Airport Services Private Limited (AISAT) staffers and an Indian passenger bound for the UK were apprehended at the Delhi airport by CISF personnel for their alleged involvement in a human trafficking racket, a senior officer said Thursday.
The incident took place on Wednesday at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport when the activities of a passenger, supposed to fly to Birmingham on an Air India flight, were found suspicious, he said.
The security personnel scanned CCTV footage and found that immigration officials first refused to allow the passenger as his travel documents were “doubtful” and they asked him to come back with airline officials for clarification, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) spokesperson said.
The passenger, however, did not go to the airline staff but approached an AISATS staffer, he said.
