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.
