In New Delhi, a rather unsettling situation occurred on an Air India flight when a tissue paper was found in the lavatory with the word "bomb" scrawled onto it. Naturally, this caused quite a stir and security agencies were swiftly alerted to the potential threat. However, after a thorough inspection, it was deemed to be a hoax. A police official confirmed this, stating that no suspicious items were found.
According to reports, the incident took place on Wednesday at approximately 7:30pm. The flight was headed for Vadodara when the tissue paper was discovered in the lavatory. As per standard safety protocols, a thorough inspection was carried out, but thankfully, nothing suspicious was found. Deputy Commissioner of Police Usha Rangnani commented on the matter, assuring the public that all necessary precautions were taken to ensure the safety of passengers.
In response to the security alert, Air India released a statement saying that all passengers were safely deboarded and the aircraft was taken to a remote bay for mandatory checks by security agencies. The airline also expressed their commitment to the safety and security of their passengers and crew, stating that they have flown the affected passengers to Vadodara in a special flight this morning. They also acknowledged the inconvenience caused by this unexpected disruption and assured that their ground staff did their best to minimize it.
This incident comes on the heels of a string of bomb threat emails sent to hospitals and the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi just a few days ago. Fortunately, subsequent investigations by Delhi Police revealed that the threats were false alarms. This is not the first time such incidents have occurred in the capital city, as a fortnight ago, over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR also received hoax threat emails, causing widespread panic and a prompt police response.
In conclusion, while the safety and security of passengers and crew are of utmost importance, it is also crucial for individuals to exercise caution and refrain from making false threats that can cause unnecessary disruptions and distress.
