Health News Update :- Satellite phone seized from an American passenger at Chennai airport. The police is investigating him. The Singapore Airlines passenger flight from Chennai to Singapore was set to take off at midnight yesterday. When the luggage of a passenger named David (55) who had come to travel in the flight was checked, there was a satellite phone in it.

The American traveler said, 'A few days ago I came to Delhi from America, from there went on a trip to Andaman and from Andaman came to Chennai. I am going from Chennai to Singapore. Satellite phones brought from the US are not banned at any airport. David said, “There is no restriction on satellite phones in our country. Authorities canceled his trip to Singapore and confiscated his satellite phone. Later, they handed him over and his satellite phone to the Chennai Airport Police.
