The air travel of a 33-year-old engineer from Karnataka was cancelled after a GPS device was found in his baggage during a security check at Chennai airport on Wednesday.

The passenger, Akash, a native of Udupi in Karnataka, had arrived at the airport to board an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Mangaluru. The aircraft was preparing to depart from the domestic terminal, and airport security personnel were screening passengers and their baggage before allowing them to board.

During the screening of Akash’s baggage, security personnel detected an object that was not permitted to be carried on board an aircraft. They set aside his baggage and questioned him.

Akash reportedly told the officials that he was not carrying any objectionable item. He also said that he was employed as an engineer with a private company.

However, a subsequent inspection of his baggage revealed a GPS device. According to aviation security regulations, carrying such a device on board an aircraft is prohibited, just as carrying a satellite phone is not permitted.

The security personnel seized the GPS device and cancelled Akash’s flight to Mangaluru. They subsequently handed him over, along with the seized device, to the airport police for further inquiry.

The airport police have begun an investigation into the incident. The incident caused a stir at Chennai airport.
