Passenger loses Rs 1 lakh and antique fountain pen from locked check-in baggage at Mumbai Airport
Binod Kumar Mandal, a director at Manipal Tech Group Companies, lost Rs 1 lakh and a cherished 77-year-old fountain pen during a flight from Mangalore to Mumbai. Mandal discovered the theft upon landing, with the bag's lock broken. Expressing concern over rising in-flight thefts, Mandal, who waited five hours to file a police complaint, suspected internal involvement.
