In a significant security lapse during heightened vigilance in the national capital amid Republic Day celebrations, a man managed to breach the perimeter wall of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and reach the runway before being apprehended, according to official sources on Sunday.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for securing the "hypersensitive" airport, has taken action by suspending a head constable on charges of dereliction of duty.
The intruder, who was later found to be intoxicated, was initially spotted on the runway by the pilot of an Air India flight at approximately 11:30 pm on Saturday.
