An employee of a private ground-handling company at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has been accused of stealing two iPhones belonging to a passenger in April. However, the airline filed a police complaint only on May 31.
The accused was caught on a CCTV camera stealing the phones.
According to the complaint filed by R Ganesh Kumar, an employee of TATA Sia Airlines Ltd (Vistara), the passenger, Hemanth Kumar, had booked a flight from Bengaluru to Chandigarh on April 28.
During baggage check, security personnel found a power bank and five iPhones in Kumar’s check-in bag. Since power banks are banned in check-in baggage, they removed it from his bag.
