Shocking! Chief electoral officer of Kerala robbed during flight; seeks action from Air India

In a unique case of robbery, the chief electoral officer of Kerala, Teeka Ram Meena was robbed of Rs 75,000 during his flight from Jaipur to Thiruvananthapuram this week, The Indian Express reported. According to the report, Teeka Ram Meena was flying Air India and money was kept in his checked-in suitcase. The officer had not locked his suitcase during his flight and he got to know about the robbery only after he landed in Thiruvananthapuram. “The bags were scanned and there were some helpers from the airport authority who took my luggage for check-in and requested me to wait in the lounge. They scanned my bags and put it in the aircraft. Since the bags were checked-in directly to Thiruvananthapuram, there was no occasion to check the bags after I landed at Delhi,” he told The Indian Express.
