A person was detained for allegedly throwing a petrol-filled bottle over the boundary wall of the Mumbai Airport in Santacruz East space, police claimed on Monday. An official stated the accused, identified as Ganesh Palekar (29), threw the bottle from Ganodevi slums alongside the airport wall after his bike broke down close by.

“He removed petrol from his two-wheeler into a small bottle and threw it into the airside area of the airport. It landed on a road inside the airport boundary, around a kilometre away from the runway. The bottle was spotted by a CISF personnel on Wednesday,” the Vakola police station official stated.

Palekar, who claimed he had executed it as mischief, was arrested on Sunday beneath part 336 (endangering life or private security of others) of the Indian Penal Code and was later launched on bail, according to reports.
