Two people were arrested by the Delhi Police for allegedly saying they were carrying a “nuclear bomb” during a pat-down at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport on April 5, officials said on Monday.
They were identified as Jignesh Malani and Kashyap Kumar Lalani, residents of Rajkot in Gujarat.
According to police, the passengers, Jignesh Malan and Kashyap Kumar Lalani, questioned the need for security checks and said they were screened before boarding the Akasa Air flight.
According to the FIR lodged by Akasa Air airline staff, “The Secondary Ladder Point Security (SLPC) system for Akasa Air flight (DEL-AMD) was functioning…the staff asked Jignesh Malani and Kashyap Kumar Lalani to be frisked. During the frisking, one of them commented, “What are you checking when it’s already done?”
The staff responded very politely: “Sir, it is a duty and an additional security measure for the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.”
In response, one of the passengers allegedly replied: “Aap kya karoge main nuclear bomb le jaa raha hun? (What would you do if I was carrying a nuclear bomb?).”
After that, passengers were not allowed to board the plane to ensure the safety of all occupants and the plane itself.
A case was registered under section 182, 505(1)(b) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the basis of the complaint and subsequent investigation.
More details are awaited.
