An IT professional from Pandikkad, named JCB Dujesh was caught red-handed by the International Airport authorities here at Trivandrum while he was trying to board an elephant into a passenger aircraft, that too, with a false passport. It was just a few minutes before the take-off, secret agents, under leadership of jumban & thumban rushed into the airliner and busted the giant passenger who had (by that time) made himself quite comfortable with his fellow passengers in the business class. According to the police, the elephant was heading to United States, using the passport of another IT professional, with similar features.
“I know nothing of it. I’m not at all involved in any sort of illegal activities like animal trafficking. I came here to see off my close friend, Mr. Duvin D’costa, who was flying to USA, for an eight week tour. I didn’t know that it was not him, but this elephant, that I waved good bye to” commented Mr. JCB, when the media asked him about the incident.
However, airport officials refused to accept these arguments. “We have clear evidence with us. This fellow had already given a warning. Just two months back, this guy was caught when he tried to send a Cock to Delhi using the documents of another IT Professional from Bangalore.”
By the time, many colleagues from his business community, including famous NRI figure and the chairman of INJI Incorporated, Mr. Inji came forward in support of Mr. Dujesh. “These kinds of confusion always occur in Indian Air ports. Last time when I was traveling from Calicut to Dubai, I was counted as a baggage”.
“My case was even worse” Mr. Bindi Ayyoayyo related his experience : “My wife was asked to pay a huge fine for carrying a live-size teddy bear along with her during the journey, when we both landed here at Calicut. Later, when asked about this, the authorities were willing refund my ticket charge, but they insisted on the fine amount.”
Having found “not guilty” after a detailed questioning, Mr. Dujesh JCB was freed by the authorities. Later, the aircraft continued its course to Singapore, delayed by almost 2 hrs, but with a much lighter stomach. The whereabouts of the original passenger is yet unknown.
