By Divyanshi Sharma: We've often seen cases of negligence by the airport staff when it comes to passengers' luggage. There have been many news reports in which the luggage was either lost, destroyed, or even stolen. However, rarely have we seen someone getting their iPhones stolen from their check-in bag at the airport. This is exactly what happened with a man, who was travelling from Bengaluru to Chandigarh in Vistara airlines. Even though the incident took place in April, a police complaint on the matter was filed on May 31.
According to a TimesNow report, an employee of a private ground handling company was caught on camera when he stole two iPhones from a passenger's check-in bag. The passenger was not allowed to take the bag with him earlier as it had a power bank which is prohibited to be carried in a check-in bag. The thief allegedly stole the phones on April 29.
The report says that the name of the passenger is Hemanth Kumar, and he was travelling from Bengaluru to Chandigarh on April 28 via Vistara airlines. Kumar's bag was opened by the ground handling staff at the airport, and they found power banks, which are not allowed in the check-in baggage. All electronic items should ideally be in your hand baggage and the process for getting them through security check is different.
