Two loaders detained

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, DEC. 21. An alert sub-inspector of the Central Industrial Security Force posted on Closed Circuit Television surveillance duty at the International Terminal of Indira Gandhi International Airport here led to the detention of two loaders in as many days as they attempted to pilfer and steal goods from the baggage of passengers.

In the first incident, a casual loader of Air India was caught on December 17 with a pearl necklace which he had allegedly pilfered from the baggage of a passenger and pocketed for personal gain. Sub Inspector P.S. Rawat spotted the accused, Sukhi Ram Singh, while he was keeping something in his pocket after taking it out of a bag kept on the Baggage Belt 3 in the Arrival Hall of the International Terminal.

The alert official immediately informed an Inspector who rushed to the spot along with other personnel and caught the loader. A search led to the recovery of the pearl necklace from his pocket. Subsequently, the matter was reported by the CISF to Air India officials, the Airport Manager and Customs officials. Sukhi Ram was thereafter handed over to the IGI Police. The following day, a loader of Concord Enterprises, J. Suresh, was spotted by Mr Rawat while he was tampering with the baggage of passengers. The accused was immediately by CISF personnel and reported to the Director of his company and the Deputy Manager of Air France for taking of further action.
