Aurangabad: : Frequent fliers from Aurangabad on Sunday raised objections to self-proclaimed godwoman Radhe Maa being allowed to carry a foot-long metal trishul, a traditional trident, on board a Jet Airways flight to Mumbai.
However, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials at the Aurangabad airport said none of the security rules were violated and that Radhe Maa was allowed to carry the trishul because it was "blunt." A Jet Airways spokesperson would only say that the CISF was responsible for security and that the airline should not be blamed.
Passengers and their relatives were shocked to see Radhe Maa, who was in Aurangabad last week, carry the trishul after clearing security check at the airport. A flier, requesting anonymity, said, "Jet Airways claims to have the best security standards and apparatus in the country and I blindly believed it till Sunday morning. I was shocked to see Radhe Maa get security clearance in spite of carrying a foot-long trishul. The possibility of someone else on the flight snatching the trishul and posing a serious security threat could not be ruled out."
