Canadian man held at IGI with cancelled ticket

A Canadian national was apprehended by the CISF today for allegedly entering the Delhi airport using a cancelled ticket to see off his wife, officials said.

J S Duhra, a Canadian national, was held when Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel found him roaming suspiciously inside the Terminal-3 (T3) building of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, they said.

The man told the personnel that he had entered the terminal to see off his wife, who was travelling to Toronto, the officials said.

He told the officials that he used a cancelled ticket to enter the airport.

The man was subsequently handed over to the police as the cancelled ticket was a fake entry document, they said.

Entering an airport terminal without a valid ticket is illegal under the Indian aviation rules.
