IAF doctor faced problems at home, work

Bangalore: Was it the harassment by senior officials that forced him to commit the blunder of making the hoax bomb call? Conforming to this theory, the police say that Dr Akshay, an officer of the rank of a Squadron Leader in the Indian Air Force who made the call to the pilot of the aircraft and ended in the police net, facing many problems, both at work and home.
Akshay was already facing a dowry harassment case filed by his wife in Mumbai and he was in a hurry to go to Mumbai to attend a hearing in Mumbai’s local court on Friday. But, he was allegedly not sanctioned leave on Thursday by his higher- ups. So, after finishing his duty in city, he had to rush to the International Airport, to ensure his presence in Mumbai.
But, to his bad luck, he was late to board the aircraft. After failing every attempt, he tried the last attempt by making a hoax call, said Basavaraja Malagatti, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North East). If his senior officers had sanctioned the leave on Thursday itself, he could have boarded the flight leisurely. But, he was said to have been purposefully assigned to conduct a surgery in the Commando Hospital on Thursday, sources said.
Akshay had booked a ticket to fly to Mumbai in the Jet Airways flight on Thursday. He reached the airport a little late and almost all 216 passengers had already boarded the flight.
