According to an immigration official, it was a major negligence from IndiGo's side as accused was supposed to be deported to Colombia and he was in transit.
A foreigner, deported from Singapore due to insufficient documents, managed to escape from IndiGo's security officials' custody on Monday.
According to an official of the Delhi Police, the accused was supposed to be deported to Colombia, but due to negligence of IndiGo officials he went away. The Delhi Police registered a case under Passport Act. While cops are analysing CCTV footages, the foreigner is yet to be traced, police said.
According to an immigration official, it was a major negligence from IndiGo's side as accused was supposed to be deported to Colombia and he was in transit. Later, Foreigner Regional Registration Offices (FRRO) gave a written complaint to the Delhi Police quoting negligence done by IndiGo officials.
"On Friday, IndiGo officials informed Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials that a foreigner deported from Singapore due to fake documents have managed to flee from IndiGo officials' custody.
When CISF officials asked IndiGo official that why they left him alone, they said few officials went for evening snacks while others went to check other passengers. He cashed this opportunity and fled," a senior CISF official said.
Sources said IndiGo officials raised the alarm after almost 40 minutes. Later, various agencies launched a massive hunt along with immigration officials but they couldn't find him. During questioning, IndiGo officials gave different versions.
