Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), Bengaluru
The first incident occurred around 11.30pm on Oct 18, when Renu Kumar, Jagadish, Gangadhar and Mukthiyar Pasha, who are unauthorised cab drivers, obstructed duty manager Veeraraghavan and other landside security staff from discharging their duties at Terminal 1, according to a complaint filed by landside security duty manager Karumbaiah KP. They returned around 4am the next morning at Terminal 2 arrival area. Bengaluru: Four alleged unauthorised cab drivers created a nuisance at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), obstructing security personnel, hurling abuse and issuing threats on two occasions within five hours. Despite being instructed by the landside security team to stop, they hurled abuse and issued threats before leaving. They obstructed BIAL landside security executive Dinesh and other security personnel, besides abusing and threatening them.
A senior officer said the issue was over security staff asking the drivers not to indulge in unofficial picking up of passengers from both terminals. Karumbaiah has sought legal action against the four men for their conduct and repeated obstruction of airport security staff.
A case has been registered under BNS Sections 126 (wrongful restraint), 292 (punishment for public nuisance in cases not otherwise provided for), 351 (criminal intimidation) and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace).
