Passenger fined for entering Mumbai airport with cancelled ticket

A passenger managed to enter the airport with a cancelled ticket on Thursday morning. Surya Narayan Reddy Danda entered terminal 1 B on the cancelled ticket of flight 6E 366 to Vishakhapatnam via Hyderabad, to see his family off.
He and his family were in Mumbai for the treatment of his son and were returning to Vishakhapatnam. However, Reddy had to cancel his ticket and stay back. Reddy, who had come to drop them, reached the check in counter of IndiGo at the terminal at Santacruz.
Reddy, an engineer, had come to the city for the treatment of his son who is suffering from polio. His son was to be discharged on Thursday, but it was delayed by a day, due to which Reddy cancelled two tickets on Wednesday night. According to airport police, Reddy was not aware that he was not allowed to go up to the check in area.
“The IndiGo staff saw the passenger had reached their counter with a cancelled ticket. They immediately informed the local police and Reddy was brought to us at around 8 am,” said an official from the airport police station.
