New Delhi: Delhi police has detained a 61-year old American national at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport just before he was to board a Qatar-bound flight after a sharp object was found in his baggage. The special cell of
the Delhi police and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) is now questioning the man identified
as Winston Marshall, who was also carrying a fake passport along with the sharp
object. Sources said Marshall is now being questioned by the investigating agencies
and the American mission has been informed about the same. Marshall is a convert
from Christianity to Islam and had arrived in India for the first time a fortnight
ago on a tourist visa. He has a tourist visa to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh
and arrived here from Pakistan. Airport sources claimed that during the security
check, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials found the knife 'concealed
between an herbal plant following which he was handed over to the police.
