Music maestro Ilaiyaraaja engaged into a minor scuffle with personnel at the Bengaluru airport after allegedly denying entry over a 'prasadam' that he was carrying in his hand luggage. The ace musician was travelling from Mangalore along with his family when the airport scanner detected few broken pieces of coconut in the bag. Things went worse when the musician's son Karthik Raja took photos of the security officials as they were unaware of who Ilaiyaraaja was.

After few minutes of argument, the musician and his family boarded the flight with a slight delay.
