Man forgets bag at airport, pays Rs 500

Kolkata: Madan Reddy had mistakenly left behind his bag at the check-in-counter of the Indian on Sunday. However, this mistake put the domestic terminal of the city airport on a high alert.
Suspecting that the bag contained explosives, the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) was pressed into action. After an extensive search with sniffer dogs, the BDDS officials, however, found no explosives inside the bag.
The bag was then put into the custody of the manager of the domestic terminal. Finally, Mr Reddy was traced and the bag was handed over to him after he paid a fine of Rs 500.
Sources said, Mr Reddy arrived at the airport on Sunday afternoon to board an Indigo flight bound for Hyderabad. During the check-in process, he left one of his bags at the check-in-counter of the Indian.
