“Since Friday, the passport carrying the abovenoted visa was in my suitcase, which was kept in a room at ACM, NPA ( Hyderabad).

At the time of check- in at Air India counter, it was first noticed by its staff that my visa was missing,” said the ACP in his written complaint at the IGI Airport police station.
