New Delhi: There was high drama at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday night when a drunk passenger tried to “hijack” the cab he was travelling in to gain entry into the airport. The man was, however, overpowered by alert CISF personnel at the barricade. Two shots were fired to deter him, officials said.
There is a tight security dragnet at IGI due to the Independence Day celebrations.
Around 11pm, police received a PCR call about a shooting at a CISF checkpost towards Terminal 3. “The cab driver stepped out after being stopped by the officers. However, the passenger immediately took the driver’s seat and tried to steer the car through the gate. He was overpowered by CISF officers. During the scuffle, the officers fired two shots in the air,” a senior police officer said.
Police said the man was found in an intoxicated state and could not provide valid reasons for wanting to gain entry. “He was not in his senses,” the officer said.
