A man, suspected to be part of a human trafficking racket, was on Monday apprehended from the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) for allegedly attempting to travel on fake documents to a foreign location. Meanwhile, 12 live cartridges were found on Monday in a washroom in the parking lot of the Airport’s T-3 Terminal, from which international flights operate.
Officials said the first incident was reported at around 1:00 am when on-duty CISF officers detected suspicious movements of a man identified as Nikunj Patel, who entered the terminal to travel to Amsterdam using a different and fake name of Urvish Patel.
They said Patel is understood to have a got a hint that CISF personnel were monitoring him and hence, shelving his original plan, he obtained a second boarding pass to travel to Mumbai.
Officials said Patel had got the first boarding pass to Amsterdam using fake documents in the name of Urvish Patel and as soon as his security check was done, he went inside a bathroom, changed his clothes, tore his boarding pass to Amsterdam and came out.
Meanwhile in the second incident, 12 live cartridges of .38 bore, used in pistols and revolvers, were found by a washroom attendant when he had gone to clean a washroom located on the second floor of the parking lot of the T-3 terminal around 4 PM, said a senior police officer.
