Bricks in airport cellphone box

Calcutta: Cellphone boxes that arrived here from Bangkok early this morning had brickbats packed in them when they were taken for clearance tonight.
Nine cartons, each supposed to contain 90 mobile phones, reached the Calcutta airport at 4 this morning by a Thai Airways plane.
Air India personnel, who do ground handling for Thai Airways, took two cartons for the mandatory clearances from the cargo hold area around 8.30pm and found that their seals had been broken.
A peep into the boxes revealed the actual contents.
A senior airport official said a probe has been started. Several airport employees were being questioned as it was likely that the seals on the cardboard boxes were tampered with here.
Officials, who could not recall any incident of the sort earlier, said the other cartons would be opened on Monday.
