Man returns to IGIA to see off wife for third time, assaults CISF men

According to airport officials, the incident was reported at 1 am at Terminal 3 when the accused, identified as Kush Mehra, came to see off his wife, who was to leave for Canada. Mehra is a South Delhi-based property dealer.

“Mehra was in an inebriated state and after seeing off his wife, he left only to return a few seconds later to see her off again. He requested the CISF staff to allow him inside to meet his wife. The security personnel, however, told him that they could ask his wife to come out and meet him. Meeting over and goodbyes exchanged, Mehra left, only to return to meet his wife again,” an airport official said.

CISF officers, however, refused his request and told Mehra that they cannot allow it. This reportedly angered Mehra, who became aggressive and began assaulting the CISF personnel.

“He pushed the officers on duty and tried to force his way into the terminal. He became abusive and started manhandling the CISF personnel. There was a scuffle and he grabbed the collar of one of the uniformed men. They pushed him away,” the official said.

Police were informed and Mehra arrested under sections 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty).
Sources said Mehra’s wife had to reschedule her flight. She accompanied Mehra to the police station.
