After determining that the bomb claim was a false alarm, the flight was able to resume its journey to its intended destination at around 6 a.m. today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today (October 20, 2023), at approximately 2:30 a.m., a CISF officer alerted the Mumbai Police Control about the situation. Subsequently, the passenger’s luggage from the flight was thoroughly examined in the presence of a Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) team, along with police officers.

The passenger who claimed to have a bomb in his bag was transported to the hospital in an ambulance after the plane landed at Mumbai Airport due to chest pain complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the police, a family member accompanying the passenger on the flight reported that he had taken medication for chest pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
