Police said Sanjay Somany (51), Managing Director of Hindustan National Glass and Industries Limited, was pictured by CCTV camera while stealing the phone. Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI Airport) K C Trivedi said the industrialist was caught on Monday evening when he returned from Chennai. “He was produced before a magistrate who granted him bail,” Trivedi said.
The arrest came as the police probed into the complaint by M K Puri, who claimed early on Monday that his Blackberry phone had been stolen on the airport premises just before he boarded his Mumbai-bound flight. Soon after receiving the complaint, the airport authorities checked the CCTV footage which showed a person dressed in blue picking up a phone during security check.
It was also ascertained that Somany boarded a Chennai-bound flight. His presence on was confirmed by co-passengers and flight crew.
