An Afghan man was apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly using a fake ticket to enter the terminal area, a senior official said today.

O A Yama was intercepted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel yesterday at 11 am as he was about to leave the Terminal-3 building of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, he said.

He was stopped and questioned as exiting the terminal area is not usually permitted for passengers, the official said.

The Afghan national told the security personnel that he used a "cancelled" ticket to enter the terminal area to see-off his wife and daughter, who were travelling to Kabul, he added.

The man was subsequently handed over to the police as his ticket was a fake travel document and was charged for alleged trespass, he said.
