Panic at Delhi airport after 'human skeleton' found in bag, turns out to be dummy

New Delhi: Panic briefly erupted at Delhi airport’s Terminal 3 after a security check flagged what was suspected to be a human skeleton. However, Delhi Police clarified that a preliminary probe found the object to be a dummy skeleton commonly used by medical students for academic purposes.

The skeleton was found inside the bag of a medical student travelling from Delhi. Police said the student had purchased the model from an agency in Karol Bagh, and the item still carried the agency’s identification tag. On being contacted, the agency confirmed that it supplies dummy skeletons for educational use and imports them from China.

Officials said there was no criminal angle linked to the incident and no foul play was suspected. However, the so-called “demo skeleton” has been sent for further forensic examination. Delhi Police said the forensic tests will scientifically confirm that the recovered remains are indeed an educational model and not an actual human skeleton.
