Patna: In a major breach of security at the Jayapraksh Narayan Interna-tional Airport here on Wednesday, one Kishor Paswan (40) came on to the runway when a plane was about to take off. The incident occurred at around 6:45 pm. There were over 150 passengers on board the G8-344 Go Air Patna-Delhi flight.
Passengers virtually screamed when Paswan reportedly waved at them from outside and tried to touch the plane, sources said.
The pilot immediately pressed the panic button as he informed air safety officials about the incident. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel then rushed in and took the trespasser into custody.
No illegal object was recovered from him so far. Paswan had his voter ID card with him and a towel, sources said.
Paswan's connection with any militant or terrorist organization has not been established so far. The trespasser was reportedly a lunatic.
The man reportedly hails from Begusarai and had boarded a train for Patna on Tuesday. He is said to be a labourer and reportedly alighted at Phulwari Sharif railway station last night. He had sneaked into the airport from Phulwari Sharif railway station at around 5 pm on Wednesday.
