Vistara flight got delayed by two hours over Bomb Threat

A man travelling to Dubai on a Vistara flight got arrested at Delhi airport, as he was heard talking about Bomb in his bag.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) arrested the man on board a Delhi-Mumbai Vistara flight after a female co-passenger overheard him say ‘bomb’ during a phone call.

The incident occurred at 4:55 p.m., pushing the flight to be delayed by two hours.

According to a senior police official, the passenger was on his way to Dubai and had been communicating with his mother. According to the official, the traveller told his mother that airport security had barred him from bringing a coconut in his bag because it could contain bombs.

When she heard the term “bomb,” her female co-passenger panicked and raised the alarm.

Both passengers were subsequently deboarded, and the plane was extensively searched, but nothing was discovered. The male passenger was then turned over to local police.
