Overview

• Resignations began on August 1 after MIAL’s HR confronted the employees with footage from previous months, according to the reports.
• The items were Security Restricted Articles seized by CISF at pre‑departure checks, including coconuts, oil bottles, knives, lighters, batteries and e‑cigarettes.
• Several of those who left had worked for one to two decades in roles such as senior duty terminal officer, duty terminal manager, deputy manager and senior executive.
• Some former employees say they were told to resign immediately or face termination and that no prior warning or formal inquiry was conducted for what they called a first‑time offence.
• MIAL did not respond to media queries, while a legal expert cited Supreme Court principles on due process and warned that forced resignations without inquiry may amount to illegal termination.
