NEW DELHI: A BSF jawan has been apprehended at
the Indira Gandhi International Airport after he allegedly picked Rs. 22,000
cash of a retired IAF officer from an airport link station of the Delhi Metro
here. Officials said the incident was reported yesterday when a CISF official
noticed over CCTV that a commuter picked some cash dropped on the floor from
the New Delhi station (airport line).
The official immediately alerted the CISF units and it was found that Rs. 22,000
in cash belonged to a retired Wing Commander of the Indian Air Force identified
as one K Makhaia.
They said soon after, based on CCTV footage, sleuths of the intelligence wing
of the force intercepted the man who had picked the said cash at the ticket
counter of terminal-1D of the IGIA.
"The person identified himself to be a BSF constable named as P Kumar,
posted with the 152nd battalion of the force. He accepted picking the
cash," they said. The cash was restored to Mr Makhaia as he said he was
not desirous to lodge a police complaint into the incident and hence Mr Kumar
was allowed to go, they said.
"The CISF surveillance team has cracked numerous such theft and lost cases
at the Delhi Metro and the airports that it guards and in a number of small
instances the affected party does not want to file a police complaint,"
they said, adding the force is continuously enhancing its capabilities in this
domain so that travelling in the Delhi Metro and through the airports could be
made more safer.
