Early Thursday, around 5.50 am, the Chennai Airport witnessed dramatic scenes after Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan was allegedly stopped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official for carrying two laptops. The minister was travelling to Thoothukudi and had produced his bag for scanning at the domestic terminal.
According to reports, the official had reportedly told the minister that a passenger cannot carry two laptops while the latter replied that there was no such rule. However, when Thiagarajan’s identity came to the fore, senior airport officials rushed to the spot and apologised to him.
