Disgruntled employee blacked out T-3 terminal last year: CBI

New Delhi: A disgruntled software engineer, whose work did get proper acknowledgement from his company, was allegedly behind the virus which led to outage of services for 12 hours at the IGI airport in June last year, CBI today said in its charge sheet.
Gurucharan Kalluraya, a former employee of ARINC which maintained the Common Use Passenger Processing System and Baggage Reconciliation System at the IGI's Terminal-3, was allegedly not happy with the treatment received from the company, CBI sources said.
Frustrated with the company, Kalluraya allegedly decided to teach the company a lesson and scripted a new virus "all by himself" which was capable of stalling the check-in and baggage claim system of the airport, they said.
Kalluraya transferred the virus on the system, leading to outage of check-in and baggage claim services of the swanky Terminal 3 for 12 hours on June 29 last year which resulted in cancellation of many flights.
