The passenger, identified as Ayush Mehta, stated on social media that he had arrived at the airport at about 5:30 a.m. to catch a flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. After completing the security check and reaching the first floor of Terminal-1, he noticed a group offering namaz in the public area and recorded the scene on his phone.

“I asked a person after their prayer, ‘Is this legal? Can you do this?’ but they didn’t answer me. Immediately after, I went downstairs to talk to the CISF in-charge, but no one was there. Then I went to speak to the airport manager, but no one was present there either,” Mehta said.

While the video of the incident has gone viral across social media, the Ahmedabad airport management has not yet issued any official clarification. It also remains unclear whether any legal or administrative action will follow. DeshGujarat
