A significant security alert disrupted operations at Jaipur Airport on Tuesday after vigilant Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel detected a highly suspicious parcel during routine scanning at the domestic cargo terminal.
Immediate Security Escalation
The alert was raised when the scanning machine revealed an anomalous object within the parcel. Upon closer inspection, security teams discovered a battery-like electronic device carefully concealed between layers of currency notes. Recognizing the potential threat, the CISF team immediately initiated stringent security protocols.
The seized parcel was swiftly moved to a designated isolated area to mitigate any risk. The entire scanning zone was promptly cordoned off, and movement of employees in the vicinity was severely restricted as per standard operating procedures to ensure safety.
Multi-Agency Investigation Launched
Local police units rushed to the terminal shortly after the alert. Their initial focus was on verifying all documentation associated with the suspicious shipment. Simultaneously, specialists from the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) were summoned to the airport to conduct a technical examination of the mysterious electronic component.
A detailed forensic and investigative process is now in full swing. Key actions being undertaken include:
- Scrutinizing the cargo register and booking papers to trace the origin.
- Analyzing extensive CCTV footage to identify individuals involved in sending and handling the parcel.
- Determining the intended destination and recipient of the shipment.
A joint team comprising ATS experts and police officials is meticulously analyzing the electronic object to decipher its exact nature and purpose.
Ongoing Probe and Findings
While the situation caused considerable alarm, airport authorities provided a crucial update later in the evening. They confirmed that no explosive material was found inside the device during preliminary checks. However, the investigation remains wide open.
Police sources indicated that one possibility under active consideration is whether the device was a tracking mechanism. This line of inquiry has not been ruled out as experts continue their analysis. Officials have emphasized that all actions taken from the moment of detection were in strict compliance with established airport security norms.
Heightened security monitoring will continue across the airport premises until the inquiry reaches a definitive conclusion. An official stated, “A detailed probe is underway to verify the device and its source,” underscoring the seriousness with which the incident is being treated.
