Sahar police have filed an FIR against Ravindra Jadhav and his son Kunal for allegedly assaulting a security guard at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport late Monday night. The incident occurred around 8.30pm when Jadhav, driving a tourist bus carrying Haj pilgrims to the airport, attempted to enter through a restricted gate and then drove in the wrong direction along an elevated bridge when stopped.
Guard Sadik Darveshi alleged that Kunal Jadhav assaulted him with a belt and pulled off his ID card when he confronted them. Other guards and CISF personnel caught the duo and handed them to police. The vehicle has been impounded and the Jadhavs charged with rash driving and criminal intimidation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act. Police said they will write to the RTO to suspend Ravindra's driving licence and the bus permit.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Haj Committee of India coordinates the annual pilgrimage from India, with designated embarkation points and transport arrangements. Assaults on airport security personnel are treated seriously under aviation security protocols, as any breach near terminal approach roads raises safety concerns. The Sahar police's move to seek licence suspension through the RTO follows standard procedure for commercial vehicle violations involving endangerment of passengers. The Jadhavs' release on notice, rather than arrest, reflects the current BNS provisions that classify non-grievous assault as a bailable offence. The RTO's pending decision on the licence and permit suspension will determine whether the bus operator can resume Haj transport duties before the pilgrimage season ends.
