IGI security breach: 3 CISF personnel suspended

CISF officers, however, didn’t reveal the names of the two suspended constables.

On October 25, a Toyota Qualis carrying staff members of Sahara press, a private firm, just drove inside the restricted area without any requisite licenses or pass, and no one questioned them. The incident occurred around 1.25 am.

R S Yadav, a supervisor with Sahara Press and Sishupal, housekeeping staff, were supposed to pick up a consignment from Kingfisher Cargo.

An Indian Airlines official spotted them at hangar no.2, which had Indian Airlines aircraft parked for maintenance, and informed CISF officers when he didn’t get any satisfactory reply from them. They were handed over to police.

CISF spokesperson Udayan Banerjee said: “The security personnel were suspended as they couldn’t render their services properly. Though the persons who entered were spotted immediately, the CISF men on duty at that time should have stopped them before entering the premises.”

Two aircraft were parked at the hangar and at least another six were parked close by at the time of the incident.
