The frisking of former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam by Continental Airlines staff at the IGI airport in New Delhi will be probed and apologies would be asked for if "anybody is found wrong", Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said here Tuesday.
"Whatever is needed, the government will do. I have just been told about this issue. If anybody is found wrong, they will have to tender an apology," Patel told reporters.
The former president was reportedly subjected to a full body check and even asked to remove his footwear as he waited on the aerobridge of the Newark-bound flight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) recently.
Kalam is on a list of those exempted from such security exercises.
