CCTV grabs give away laptop thief at airport

Mumbai: At Mumbai airport on Monday, around 10 am, an Air India passenger, Shashank Gang, who was on his way to Jodhpur, forgot to collect his laptop after he put it on X-ray for security check at terminal 1A. However, soon after, he realised his mistake and returned to fetch it but could not find it anywhere. Running late, Gang asked one of his relatives to follow up the matter with CISF officials; his nephew lodged a complaint with the security officials.
As the officials went through the CCTV footage of the security hold area, they spotted a passenger, 50-year-old Jayant Roy, walking away with two laptops, when he should have been carrying only one as his cabin baggage.
After Roy was identified, grabs of the CCTV footage were mailed to Patna airport officials and Kingfisher staffers and they were instructed to detain him as soon as he deplaned. "He denied having two laptops on him. However, after searching his cabin bag, his laptop was found buried under a heap of clothes,"an official said.
