Afghan man misses flight, assaults CISF staff at IGI Airport

New Delhi: A 25-year-old Afghan national was arrested for allegedly misbehaving with Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The man allegedly tore the uniform of a CISF constable before attempting to snatch the gun of a CISF Inspector and attempting to run to the air side.
According to airport officials, the incident was reported a week ago when the Afghan man, identified as Ashmatullah Hashmi, was due to fly to Kabul. Sources said Hashmi, a student, was scheduled to board an Air India flight to Kabul which was scheduled to depart at 12.35 pm. However, due to technical reasons, the flight was delayed and rescheduled.
Sources said Hashmi, who was allegedly inebriated, fell asleep in the security hold area and missed the rescheduled flight. His check-in baggage had been offloaded by the airline by then.
