CISF personnel at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport discovered a skull concealed inside a passenger’s hand baggage during a routine security check on August 10. The passenger, who was scheduled to fly to Hyderabad, told officials the skull belonged to a monkey. Security staff stopped the passenger from boarding and informed the local police. Authorities are now examining the skull to confirm its origin and whether it falls under protected wildlife categories. The case is being investigated under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
