Mumbai resident held for stealing at Delhi airport check-in queue

Mumbai: Two persons were arrested on Wednesday from airports in Delhi and Patna for allegedly stealing cash and other valuables from a passenger's baggage after entering the domestic terminal as travellers. Sheikh Sayed, a city resident, was deboarded from a Mumbai-bound Air India flight and arrested while his associate Mahender Sharma who managed to fly to Patna was apprehended on his arrival there.
A senior CISF official said the arrests came following investigations into a complaint filed by a passenger that he was robbed of Rs 8,000 during check-in.
CCTV footages showed that their movements were suspicious and they were tracked down. "They were also involved in a theft of Rs 1.40 lakh on October 28. We had checked the footage then and had zeroed in on them,” the official said.
