She said in her complaint, “I had to take a connecting flight from Delhi to Dibrugarh. I had a handbag, a backpack, a sling bag and a black colour purse with me. I have kept all my jewelry in black purse. There was a CISF female constable at the screening point. She asked me to show her purse and jewelry. I urged her to check inside the purse without bringing it out. I kept the jewelry in a transparent box. But he didn’t listen to me. ”
According to the FIR, the female constable took her jewelry out of the box and placed it in another tray.
Ms. Bhatt complained, “In the meantime, the airport boarding time was announced and I took my bag and boarded the plane. After boarding the flight, I found the jewelry box missing and complained to the flight attendants and they had advised me to report it to the CISF. ‘
She said, she had informed the CISF of Dibrugarh about this and repeatedly called the airport officials to report the incident.
“I was promised help in the matter but when I reached Lucknow on January 8, I was shown CCTV footage in which it was seen that the ornament box fell down from the scanning tray during the checking by the CISF officials,” she said.
According to the complainant, “the quality of the CCTV footage is very poor. No CCTV footage was available after the jewelry box fell off the scanner. ”
She said she had a hunch that she was not shown the entire length of the CCTV footage, or it was cut/ deleted deliberately or was not saved purposely. She alleged that the CISF and airport officials stole her ornaments.
Police is investigating on the case.
