Air India’s Wadia probe complete

Mumbai: The Air India probe on how industrialist Nusli Wadia’s bags containing a revolver and live bullets cleared security check at the airport is complete.
“The report was submitted to the management on Monday,” said Air India spokesperson S Venkat. “We will take action if laxity is found. If necessary, it may lead to termination of the employee’s service. Negligence at any level cannot be tolerated.”
The Bombay Dyeing chairman’s baggage cleared X-ray screening despite containing a firearm at the Chhatrapati Shivaji airport on January 13. Wadia, who was headed to Dubai, was however, detained and questioned at the Dubai airport.
The family claimed a domestic help accidentally packed the revolver and bullets and that Wadia himself had no knowledge about the contents of his bag.
While Air India officials remained tight-lipped on whether they would question Wadia on his arrival, there are chances the Customs will since the firearm was not declared when it went out of the country.
