Air India has suspended staff over the immigration security lapse that occurred at the Delhi airport earlier in the month and stronger checks have been put in place, Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said at a press conference on Tuesday. Three foreign passengers were allowed to board a connecting flight at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport without completing the immigration process.
The Italian nationals had taken a flight from Amritsar to Delhi on September 4 and subsequently boarded a Lufthansa flight from Delhi to Munich.
