Law enforcement officials from the southwest district police were stationed at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport when a flight carrying the group touched down, according to reports on Tuesday. The detentions occurred within minutes of the aircraft's arrival at the terminal.
Police teams had been deployed specifically at the airport ahead of the aircraft's landing, indicating the action was anticipated. The detention of Dipke and associates drew attention from airport staff and travelers present at the terminal during the operation.
Details regarding the specific grounds for detention or the individuals' identities beyond Dipke remain limited. The southwest district police have not yet issued a formal statement clarifying the nature of the operation or the duration for which those detained would be held.
The incident marks the latest in a series of high-profile detentions at India's busiest airport, which regularly sees coordinated police operations. Authorities continue their investigation into the matter.
