The two bags stolen from a luggage conveyer belt at the IGI Airport here belonged to singer Falguni Pathak and a political leader, the police said. The thief has been arrested.
The accused Jasbir Singh alias Shera allegedly needed to travel to meet his girlfriends.

However, the 34-year-old found his income as a football player and a government employee insufficient to support this lifestyle.
“He used to come to the IGI airport by flight, stole check-in baggage and took it as hand baggage in another flight,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI) D.K. Gupta.
Ultimately, it was CCTV cameras that led the police to Singh.
