The BBC reported on the 18th (local time) that a man who had been secretly living for three months at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, was caught.

The U.S. prosecutors announced on the 16th that they had arrested Aditya Singh, 36, who had secretly stayed and eaten for three months at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport security area for fear of a novel coronavirus outbreak (Corona 19).

He showed his badge to airline employees asking for identification before arrest, but it was a badge that was reported to be lost in October.

According to research, Singh arrived at the airport on October 19 last year on a flight to Chicago from Los Angeles.

He picked up an employee badge at the prosecution and stated that he lived at the airport “because of Covid (Corona 19) scared of returning home,” the Chicago Tribune reported. I continued my life with items I received from other passengers.

Singh lived in the suburbs of Los Angeles and had no criminal record. The reason why he was in Chicago is not confirmed.

An Illinois Cook County court investigation or judge Ortiz, who received an outline of the case from the prosecution, was shocked that an unauthorized man, who was not an employee, had been undetected in the airport security area from October 19 to 16 this month. .

Singh has been charged with felony and misdemeanor theft of trespassing in restricted airport areas. The bail was set at $1,000, and access to the airport was banned.

“Although we are still investigating this incident, we have confirmed that this man is not a risk to the airport or to travelers,” the Chicago Aviation Administration overseeing the airport said in a statement.
