Detained air passengers leave officials confused

Chennai: Security agencies at the Chennai airport on Wednesday had a tough time deciding upon further action against three passengers whom they had detained.
The officials found to their dismay that a passenger who arrived from Singapore and was det­a­ined based on a look-out circular (LOC), was no longer wanted by the police.
 Airport security agencies were in a quandary following the seizure of 60 kg of seashells from two domestic passengers as they were not sure if if this was a banned item.
 Anbarasu, 44, from Jayamkondam, the passenger against wh­om the LOC was issued in 2010, was detained at night by the immigration officials, but in the morning, St Thomas Mount CCB officials informed the immigration officials that he was not needed in connection with the case any more. So the passenger was allowed to go.
