New Delhi: Remember a few days back when superstar Salman Khan was spotted at the airport, a CISF officer (Central Industrial Security Force) stopped him at the security check. The internet loved this man in uniform's gesture and hailed his on-duty ethics. 

Now, a few reports suggested that the officer's phone has been confiscated so that he doesn't speak to the media and is reprimanded. But contrary to such claims, the CISF has rewarded the officer. 

The official Twitter handle of CISF cleared the air over the incident and wrote: The contents of this tweet are incorrect & without factual basis. In fact, the officer concerned has been suitably rewarded for exemplary professionalism in the discharge of his duty. @PIBHomeAffairs
