CISF officer who won the Internet for stopping Salman Khan at airport 'rewarded for professionalism'

Recently a CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) officer who won the Internet for doing his job by stopping actor Salman Khan at the Mumbai airport last week has got his due, apart from the online fame. The paramilitary force on Tuesday shared the good news on Twitter, saying that the officer was 'rewarded for exemplary professionalism'.

There were reports that the CISF personnel had fallen in trouble for stopping the actor at the airport. As the reports started doing the rounds on social media, the armed force quickly took to Twitter to quash the rumours and set the records straight. "The contents of this tweet are incorrect & without factual basis," CISF tweeted.



The video, which was widely shared on different social media platforms, shows Khan surrounded by screaming and excited paparazzi as he makes way to get inside the airport in Mumbai. The actor was accompanies by his brother Sohail Khan's son Nirvaan and personal security staff.

The actor starts heading directly inside the terminal when he is stopped by a CISF officer to get clearance from the security check point of the airport.
