In a weird twist of occasions that would rival the plot of a Hollywood comedy, two unsuspecting businessmen from Rajkot, Gujarat, discovered themselves in a nuclear-sized predicament on the Indira Gandhi Worldwide Airport. Jignesh Malani and Kashyap Kumar Lalani, who have been merely attempting to catch their flight again to Ahmedabad, inadvertently triggered a safety nightmare by uttering the phrases no airport official ever desires to listen to: “What’s going to you do if I’m carrying a nuclear bomb?”
Little did they know that their harmless, albeit ill-advised, quip would result in their arrest and a full-blown investigation by the Delhi Police. The duo, who work as contractors within the development sector, had travelled to Dwarka to debate a purchase order with a enterprise affiliate. Nevertheless, their informal comment about nuclear weapons rapidly escalated right into a scenario that even probably the most seasoned scriptwriters would wrestle to conjure up.
Because the safety workers on the airport grappled with the gravity of the scenario, Malani and Lalani discovered themselves in the course of a real-life farce.
The FIR filed by an airline official painted an image of two people who posed a big safety menace to the plane and its passengers, all due to a poorly timed joke. The identify of the airline has not been revealed.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Usha Rangani, tasked with unraveling this peculiar case, revealed that the accused have been simply extraordinary businessmen caught in a rare circumstance. Following their arrests, the 2 have been launched on bail, leaving them to ponder the results of their nuclear-themed wit.
“They’d travelled to Dwarka in Delhi to fulfill a enterprise affiliate relating to a purchase order. Following their arrests, they have been launched on bail and the investigation is ongoing,” the DCP instructed PTI.
