A man who had managed to sneak himself into an airport with an unauthenticated ticket, stunned people when he was found out to have hid himself for days there.
The man, an Indian, hid inside Delhi airport for 10 days without anyone noticing he was there.
Identified as Mohammad Abdullah from Hyderabad, the man reportedly got into the airport with a fake ticket from Etihad and was supposedly bound for the United Arab Emirates.
He was finally discovered when a member of the housekeeping team reported him to India's Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
The incident took place in January this year but has only now come to light.
Times of India reported that the man had forged his ticket and tried to check in with Etihad at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on January 11.
The fake ticket was discovered and the airline reported him to CISF.
However, the CISF subsequently let the man go and he was able to take a second print out of the ticket and re-enter the airport from another gate according to the report.
He remained in the airport but was eventually reported to the CISF again, this time by housecleaning staff who had noticed his continuous presence.
The man was eventually handed over to Delhi Police on January 20. Delhi police have booked him for trespassing according to their report.
A senior police officer told the Times of India: 'Abdullah was jointly interrogated by the police and intelligence agencies.
'He revealed that he had been waiting to receive some money to fly to UAE.
'He was arrested under relevant sections and an FIR (First Information Report, equivalent of a criminal record) was registered against him.'
