Afghan officials reported that the youngster, allegedly from Kunduz city in northern Afghanistan, was found wandering on the tarmac at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after the plane arrived from Kabul on the 22nd of September 2025.
Kam Air flight RQ4401 took off from Kabul Airport at 7:56am local time and arrived in Delhi at 10:33am local time after a flight of 1 hour and 37 minutes. The boy, found wandering on the tarmac in Delhi, was detained by Indian security personnel and taken for questioning. He was reportedly deported on the Kam Air flight back to Kabul which departed Delhi at 12:47 the same day. According to local reports, the boy told officials in India that he had made the trip "out of curiosity.'
The boy informed the Indian authorities questioning him that he had concealed himself in the central landing gear compartment of the plane. The A340 features a pair of wheels on a single bogie positioned under the central fuselage between the wings to support the aircraft's belly. The boy claims it was in this wheel well where he hid.
According to the newspaper, the boy had snuck into Kabul airport, trailing a large group of passengers, and stowed away in the aircraft's rear wheel well. Upon further inspection of the aircraft's wheel wells at Delhi Airport, airport staff also discovered a small, red- coloured audio speaker belonging to the boy.
