Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma sought help on social media to find a fellow flight passenger who lent him a charger and cable during a journey.
The passenger disembarked in Dubai while Sarma was asleep and he couldn't return the items.
Social media users expressed concerns about 'juice jacking', which refers to the risk of malicious tampering with charging stations to infect devices connected to tampered USB ports.
The netizens advised Sarma to get his device checked and raised concerns about the security of his data.
