CISF refutes Gurugram doctor's claim of theft of Apple watch from airport
The CISF scanned through the CCTV cameras and found a footage of Mehta wearing his Apple watch after the checking
New Delhi, January 28
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has refuted a Gurugram based doctor’s claim that his Apple Watch went missing during the mandatory security check and he recovered it from a man at the IGI Airport in Delhi.
Tushar Mehta, who describes himself as an orthopaedic surgeon, educator, speaker, and a founder on his Instagram profile, posted on X on January 25 that he put his watch, along with other items, in a tray for scanning but when he got the tray back, his watch was missing. He claimed he saw a man walking away, tracked him to a nearby watch store and recovered the watch from him but CISF personnel told him to apologise for his rude behaviour.
Mehta also named two men in his post, the man from whose pocket he claimed to have recovered his watch, and an employee at a watch store in the airport.
The CISF scanned through the CCTV cameras and found a footage of Mehta wearing his Apple watch.
The CISF in a statement on X said, “The review of the CCTV has contradicted the sequence of events as narrated above. After security check, you were seen wearing your watch and heading for boarding gate without interaction with any CISF personnel. The boarding was completed smoothly and hassle-free… Posting of such unsubstantiated messages creates unnecessary apprehension in the minds of passengers, hence avoidable”.
