A woman from the United Kingdom (UK) was apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly using a fake ticket to enter the terminal area, a senior official said today.

F H Thomas was intercepted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel around 10:30 am yesterday as she was about to leave the Terminal-3 building of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, he said.

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

The UK national told the security personnel that she used a "cancelled" ticket to enter the terminal area to see off her husband and children, who were travelling to London, he added.

 

The woman was subsequently handed over to the police as her ticket was a fake travel document and she was charged with alleged trespass, he said.
