CISF personnel detain a passenger at Delhi airport after a skull-like object is found in hand baggage during security screening. The passenger is traveling from Delhi to Hyderabad and says the item is a “monkey skull.” Local police take over the case for further action, pending confirmation of the object’s identity.
Authorities investigate the skull’s origin and whether it is linked to protected wildlife species. Officials say wildlife department assessment is needed to determine the species and verify the claim. If the wildlife authorities conclude the possession or transport is unlawful under India’s wildlife protection laws, further legal action is expected. Reporting across outlets focuses on the same sequence: discovery during screening, the passenger’s explanation, transfer to police, and investigation under wildlife-related regulations.
