An Afghan national has been apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly using a fake travel ticket to enter the terminal area.

Mohammed Bashir S was apprehended on Thursday when CISF personnel found him walking inside Terminal-3 (T3) building of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, said officials.

A senior official said that he was found to be acting suspiciously and was intercepted. The Afghan man told the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel that he used a “cancelled” ticket to enter the terminal to see off his sister and mother, who were travelling to Kabul. Bashir S was subsequently handed over to the police. Entering an airport terminal without a valid ticket is illegal under the aviation rules.
