A Delhi-based man has been apprehended by CISF personnel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here for allegedly "impersonating" as a pilot of Lufthansa airlines to escape long queues and security checking, officials said on Tuesday.
Rajan Mahbubani (48) was wearing the uniform of the airline pilot when he was nabbed from the departure gate of the airport on Monday. He was just about to board an Air Asia flight to Kolkata, they said.
He was handed over to the Delhi Police for further probe.
The CISF action came on the basis of information provided by the the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the German airlines which said that there is a "suspected passenger in the getup of a captain of Lufthansa airlines."
