NEW DELHI - A 65-year-old man, desperate to go on the Haj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, jumped the emergency gate at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport here in the second security breach in 24 hours at the terminal, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) spokesperson said Sunday.
“The man, identified as Fazal Mohammed from Haryana’s Nuh district, jumped emergency gate no.5 of the IGI airport near Dwarka at around 10 p.m. Saturday. He was caught by the guards and CISF personnel,” CISF spokesperson Rohit Katiyar told IANS.
Mohammed told the guards that he had no money and was desperate to go to Saudi Arabia on a Haj pilgrimage.
“He was handed over to the airport police and will be produced in court today,” the spokesperson said.
Earlier in the day, Uday Raj Chauhan, 28, was nabbed by the CISF in the Air India parking after he illegally entered the domestic terminal at 4.30 a.m.
“Chauhan had managed to jump into the technical area from a tree and breached the funnel area. He reached the apron area to board an Air India aircraft to Dubai. That’s where he was caught,” Katiyar informed.
