Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra may soon lose his exalted frisking privileges at the airports.

Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju has reportedly asked the aviation officials to tone down the existing list of people exempt from the security checks at airports, according to a report.

The minister has asked the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) to prepare a list "purely on the basis of requirement" and remove names that enjoyed this privilege for "ornamental" reasons, the report quoting an official said.

The home ministry, which is expected a review the list soon, may remove Vadra's name from the list, the official added.

BCAS has 30 people on the exempt list which begins with the President and goes up to special protection group protectees. The list also includes the Dalai Lama.
