Jaipur/In a major security breach, a sweeper employed by Air India at Medina airport in Saudi Arabia sneaked onto its Medina-Jaipur flight Saturday and was found hiding in the toilet after the plane had taken off.

An Air India official in New Delhi said that the worker, identified as Habib Hussain, had told the police after being taken off the plane when it landed at Jaipur that he was being harassed by his employees at Medina airport and had therefore sneaked onto the plane to return to India.

Confirming the incident, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) source in Jaipur confirmed that a man, who was on the flight without proper papers, was apprehended and handed over to the police.
