The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Sensational headlines risk painting the passenger as a criminal before the facts are clear. The claim that the skull is a monkey’s may be true or could be a cover, but the Wildlife Act exists precisely for such verification. The test will come when forensic and wildlife experts determine the species. Until then, restraint, not outrage, is warranted.
