CISF has arrested a cleaner working at a priemer lounge at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for allegedly stealing Rs 6,000 from the wallet of a US-bound Indian flier.

Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials, after an analysis of CCTV footage and other inputs, intercepted a cleaner, identified as Vipin Singh, for his supicious activities during the time of the theft.
"Upon interrogation, Vipin accepted that he took the money when the passenger was away in the washroom before taking his flight," CISF spokesperson Hemendra Singh said.
Vipin was later handed over to airport police which arrested him for the act.
The passenger whose money was stolen, identified as Ajay Kumar, has been informed as he had left for his destination.
Another cleaner was arrested at the IGIA four days ago on the charge of stealing the laptop of a passenger.
