The three drunken men, who entered the Juhu aerodrome premises on Saturday, confessed that the prime motive behind the crime was to steal wires. In view of this and other encroachment incidents in that area, deployment of Maharashtra Security Force personnel will be beefed up by next week, the order of which will be passed today by the Airport Authority of India (AAI).

Post the incident three men, Shiva Sunder Raj (22), Vijay Ranghanath (19) and Surya Rajendra (20), were arrested from whom the concertina coil (barbed wire) was recovered. They were residents of the nearby Nehru Nagar slum, which has become a menace for the Juhu aerodrome officials.
