Delhi: Panic briefly erupted at Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport after security personnel detected what appeared to be a human skeleton during routine baggage screening, an official said on Friday.
Soon after the discovery on Thursday, airport security agencies and the Delhi Police conducted a detailed check of the luggage.
Police said preliminary examination revealed that the skeleton was a demonstration model commonly used by medical students for academic and training purposes. The item was found in the baggage of a medical student travelling through the terminal.
