A very sensational and shocking news has come out from Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (Bawatpur Airport) of Varanasi, the world famous religious and cultural city of Uttar Pradesh. The sudden firing during the deployment of security forces inside the airport premises created chaos and spread panic among the passengers and airport staff. In this unexpected incident, a woman and a young man have suffered serious injuries due to bullet injuries, who have been immediately admitted to the nearest hospital, where their condition is being closely monitored by doctors. As soon as information about the incident was received, senior officials of the local police administration, airport authority and intelligence department immediately reached the spot and started investigating the entire matter in detail. The occurrence of such an incident inside the airport, which is considered very sensitive from security point of view, raises many serious questions on the security system, after which there is panic in the entire area.
How did the chaos happen at Babatpur Airport and what is the whole matter?
Normal work and passenger movement was going on as usual at Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport located at Babatpur in Varanasi. There were long queues of passengers in the arrival and departure areas of the airport and the security personnel were performing their duties diligently. Suddenly a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) soldier deployed for security was suddenly shot from the service rifle. As soon as the loud sound of the bullet was heard, there was an outcry in the airport premises and people started running here and there to save their lives. According to initial information, the firing was not the result of any terrorist attack or external infiltration, but was the result of a sudden firing during an altercation or snatching of a weapon between a security force personnel and some other person. In this terrible accident, an innocent young man and a woman passing by were seriously injured by shrapnel or bullets, who were immediately taken to the medical room of the airport and then immediately referred to the hospital.
Suspicious circumstances related to CISF jawan’s role and weapon
Many speculations are now being made regarding the reasons behind the firing from the weapon possessed by the CISF jawan deployed at the center of the incident. Senior officials of the security agencies are deeply investigating whether it was a technical malfunction (Weapon Malfunction) that led to the sudden firing, or whether there was a heated argument between the jawan and a passenger over some issue due to which the accident took place out of anger. Taking immediate action, senior CISF officials have taken the concerned jawan into custody and he is being interrogated. In a high-security zone like an airport, where even a bird cannot be killed, the firing of a security personnel’s gun and injuries to civilians indicates a major lapse in security protocol, into which a high-level inquiry has been ordered.
Condition of the injured and arrangements for treatment in local hospitals
Both the injured, who were hit by this unexpected firing, were immediately admitted to a major trauma center and hospital in Varanasi with the help of the local police and airport administration. According to doctors, as both the injured received timely medical aid, their lives are said to be out of danger, although treatment for the wounds on their bodies is ongoing. As soon as the news of the incident was received, the relatives of the injured also reached the hospital in shock, and the local administration is in constant touch with them. Varanasi district administration and police officials have reached the hospital to inquire about the well being of the injured and have assured to provide them all possible medical help. This incident has once again forced one to think about how dangerous such tense incidents between security forces and the public can prove to be for the life of any innocent person.
Review of airport security system and strict steps to be taken
Varanasi’s Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport is one of the busiest and important airports of Uttar Pradesh, from where dozens of flights are operated every day for India and abroad and thousands of passengers travel. After this incident, the airport’s internal security system, CCTV footage and metal detectors checking process are being reviewed afresh. Top officials of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and CISF are reviewing what kind of additional psychological and technical training should be given to the soldiers to prevent such incidents in future.
