An incident at Jaipur airport has led to the arrest of a SpiceJet staff member, Anuradha Rani, following an altercation with a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawan during a security screening dispute.
Details of the Incident
Anuradha Rani, employed as a food supervisor with SpiceJet, was entering the airport premises through the “vehicle gate” along with other staff members around 4 a.m. Assistant Sub Inspector Giriraj Prasad halted her, citing her lack of permission to use that specific gate.
According to CISF officials, Anuradha Rani was directed to undergo security screening at the nearby airline crew entrance. However, due to the absence of female CISF personnel at the time, tensions arose between her and ASI Giriraj Prasad.
Escalation and Arrest
Jaipur airport’s Station House Officer (SHO), Ral Lal, reported that ASI Giriraj Prasad attempted to call a female colleague for the security check. During this exchange, the disagreement intensified, culminating in Anuradha Rani allegedly slapping the ASI.
In response to a complaint filed by ASI Giriraj Prasad, Anuradha Rani has been charged under sections 121(1) (voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant from his duty) and 132 (assaulting a public servant) of the Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The SHO confirmed her arrest and stated that investigations are ongoing.
Legal Implications
The incident underscores the importance of adherence to security protocols at airports, particularly concerning interactions between airline staff and security personnel. Authorities are addressing the matter with strict legal action to uphold public safety and maintain discipline within airport premises.
Conclusion: Ensuring Accountability
As investigations continue into the altercation at Jaipur airport, the arrest of Anuradha Rani highlights the consequences of breaching security protocols and assaulting public servants. The incident serves as a reminder of the stringent measures in place to safeguard airport operations and personnel integrity.
