The electronic sensors installed along the boundary wall of city airport are proving to be a big success. The smart gadgets on Thursday night detected a man who was trying to sneak into the airfield and raised an alarm, leading to his arrest. Last month, a 23-year-old man, believed to be mentally unstable, was held for attempting a similar unauthorised entry to the sensitive area.
When was the breach detected?
Sources said the incident came to light around 10.50 pm when a joint team comprising personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force and airport operator MIAL found a man breaching the boundary wall from the eastern side of gate number 8 near Kranti hutment area.
Who was the intruder?
The police identified the man as Somnath Sukhalal Patil, 24. "The control room immediately informed about the breach to the CISF personnel manning the airside. The intruder was apprehended later," said an airport official. The CISF handed over Patil to local police. "We are yet to ascertain Patil's exact intention of entering the prohibited zone. Further investigation is on," said ACP Madhukar Sankhe.
