New Delhi:
A US national has been apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly using a fake ticket to enter the terminal area, a senior official said Tuesday.
Tashi Tseten was apprehended Monday night by CISF personnel as he was found roaming in the terminal area suspiciously and attempting to leave the Terminal-3 (T3) building of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, the official said.
The man, holding a US passport, was stopped and questioned, as exiting the terminal area is not allowed under normal circumstances, he said.
He told the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel that he used a “cancelled” ticket to enter the terminal area to see off his wife who was travelling to Frankfurt in Germany, the official said.
Tseten was handed over to police, he said.
Entering an airport terminal without a valid ticket is illegal under the aviation rules.
