New Delhi: With the capital on high alert following the blast at the Delhi High Court, an unattended baggage on Wednesday created panic at Terminal 3 of the IGI airport.
At around 12.45 PM, a man claiming to be flight attendant handed over a big suitcase to two men, Santosh Kumar and Ankur Sharma, near departure gate 3, airport sources said.
The man told them that he would come back after parking his car, but he did not return. Both of them approached the CISF after the man did not return.
The CISF personnel secured the area, suspecting the presence of explosive in the baggage.
Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad as well as sniffer dogs reached the spot, while Delhi Police were also called to secure the area.
The bomb squad personnel as well as sniffer dogs checked the baggage but no explosive material were detected, a senior CISF official said.
Following the safety procedure, the baggage was put in a Total Containment Vehicle for a cooling period of 24 hours.
The baggage would be opened after this period, he said.
