Birdi told the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel that he used a “cancelled” ticket to enter the terminal area to see off his wife, who was travelling to Birmingham, they said.

He was subsequently handed over to the police, they said. Entering an airport terminal without a valid ticket is illegal under the aviation rules.
