The Delhi Police today registered a case against employees of the US carrier Continental Airlines for subjecting former president A P J Abdul Kalam to a full body check in violation of protocol and Indian laws.
Joint Commissioner of Police Satyendra Garg said, ‘We received a complaint in this regard and registered a case.’ It was yet to be known under which sections the case was registered and how many people were named in the FIR lodged at the Indira Gandhi International Airport police station.
But if sources are to be believed, the case, on a complaint of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), was registered under the omnibus Aircraft Act.
The former president, significantly, was even asked to remove his footwear as he waited on the aerobridge of the New York-bound flight at Delhi airport recently.
