Shaken by a mid-day investigation that uncovered a nexus of civic officials, touts and hotels helping international fliers escape the mandatory 7-day institutional quarantine, the BMC has registered cases against two such travellers. The civic body launched a probe on its own and scanned CCTV footage of hotel premises before booking the two men who had arrived in the city on April 2 from Gulf nations. The Sakinaka police are now looking for the fliers.
