Tussles between agencies at the Delhi airport, including Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), have started benefiting the accused in court cases, leading to acquittals.
According to Delhi Police, Investigation officers are also facing problems in court as DIAL officials are not cooperating in investigations, and officials avoid being complainants, which is the need of the hour.
On the other side, DIAL has turned down Delhi Police's request and slapped an order from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security of India (BCAS), issued in 2005, in its reply.According to the police, the issue urgently requires attention as it is hampering aviation security.
Sensing the gravity of the issue, Delhi Police recently sent a letter to DIAL Executive Director and Security Delhi, Ranjit Narayan, and asked him to direct the concerned officials to file a complaint before police.
According to a senior police official, in various cases courts have questioned the capabilities of the investigation officer, as the DIAL official who detect the arms/ammunition first was not the complainant.
Mail Today has accessed the exchange of letters between Delhi Police and DIAL.
“I have raised this issue and sent a letter to DIAL and requested them to direct the concerned officials to file a complaint before police, who detected arms/ammunition from the passenger at X-ray scanning machine. Complainant should be DIAL official or airline whosoever detected arms/ammunition. We want that Delhi Police should not face problem in court proving the facts and accused should not get any benefit of this,” DCP, IGI, Dinesh Kumar Gupta told Mail Today.
