A Central Industrial Security Force personnel who recently made headlines for stopping Bollywood actor Salman Khan at Mumbai Airport asking him to complete the mandatory security check has reportedly landed into trouble for speaking to the media about the incident.

According to a TNIE report, the CISF has seized the mobile phone of ASI Somnath Mohanty of Rayagada for  breach of protocol as he spoke to an Odisha-based media organization about the incident.

“The mobile phone of Mohanty has been seized as he interacted with the media and it is a breach of protocol. His mobile phone was seized to ensure he is not able to speak with the media further about the incident,” a CISF personnel told TNIE.

In the viral video, Salman is seen arriving at the airport to leave the country for the shoot of his upcoming film Tiger 3 but  Mohanty stopped him and requested to get his documents checked at the gate. In the background, photographers present at the airport are seen yelling out Salman’s name begging him to pose for a photograph.

In this video Salman is not cooperative with security as news were viral, in fact he was forced by CISF jawaan to go through the essential security check.
I felt Salman was not happy but kept silence. https://t.co/38FzC3Z50u
