Last year, on one day there were two security breaches at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, following which the security personnel have tightened surveillance.

It may be recalled that a 65-year-old man, desperate to go on the Haj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, jumped the emergency gate at the airport here. The man was identified as Fazal Mohammed from Haryana’s Nuh district who had jumped emergency gate no.5 of the IGI airport near Dwarka. He was caught by the guards and CISF personnel. Mohammed told the guards that he had no money and was desperate to go to Saudi Arabia on a Haj pilgrimage.

Earlier in the day, Uday Raj Chauhan, 28, was nabbed by the CISF in the Air India parking bay after he had illegally entered the domestic terminal at 4.30 a.m. According to CISF, Chauhan had jumped into the technical area from a tree and breached the funnel area. He then reached the Air India flight going to Dubai where he was nabbed.
