Mangalore, Sep 14: More than 12 hours after detaining a Dubai-bound Muslim passenger at Mangalore International Airport on charge of possessing “suspected explosive materials”, security officials and police have finally admitted that their suspicion was wrong.
However, a few regional Kannada news channels, newspapers and a Mangalore based news portal that accused the detained passenger of having links with a "terrorist group" in Syria, have not yet apologized for their blunder and baseless allegations against an innocent passenger.
After a prolonged interrogation amidst tight security, the sleuths of Central Industrial Security Force and cops “realized” that what they had assumed to be “explosive materials” was nothing but a tab.
The victim of suspicion, Mohammed Abdul Khader from Periya Uppala in Kasargod district, who was supposed to board a Dubai-bound flight Saturday night, is under shock after unexpected developments.
After inquiring several family members and neighbors of detained passenger, the investigators confirmed that one of his neighbours had handed over the tab to get it repaired in Dubai.
It is learnt that Mohammed Abdul Khader, an NRI, had married just a month ago and he was returning to Dubai for work after spending vacation with his newly married wife and family members. One of his neighbours had handed over a small package to him to give it to their relatives in Dubai.
Even though the package contained a tab and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide that is used as cleaning substance along with some food, the neighbours had told him that the package contained only eatables.
The Airport officials, who found electronic device inside the package during scanning enquired the passenger about it, he reportedly told them that it may contain some food items. When the officials opened the package, they found a tab and a bottle of liquid. This instigated the local media to spread fabricated stories triggering panic in the region.
However, when the investigation began, the family members and neighbours of the passenger rushed to Mangalore International Airport and explained the truth. Meanwhile the experts have also confirmed that the package did not contain any kind of explosive devices.
