Sakshi finds an intruder in her car…in the middle of the parking lot of Mumbai’s international airport.

What was truly shocking though was not the act itself but the reaction of the intruder on being caught. All throughout, he appeared calm. “Main saamaan deta hoon na. Police ko kya boolate ho”, “Gaadi khulli thee toh meri galti kya”, “Jaane doh yaar, main driver hoon” were some of his dialogues – minus the begging, the pleading, crocodile tears and the works.

It took me a good 10 minutes or so to locate a security official and I had to walk all the way to the arrival terminal

Even while Sahar is right in the middle of a bustling suburb of the city, the immediate area surrounding the airport is badly-lit and deserted. Sakshi’s experience indicates that even the main airport area itself is highly unsafe. Rather appalling state of affairs for the international terminal of the country’s commercial capital.
