New Delhi, Oct 14: A bomb threat against a flight arriving in the nation’s capital early on Friday morning with a destination of Delhi has been the subject of an inquiry, according to authorities.
According to PTI, an email warning of a bomb on the Moscow-Delhi flight was sent to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The entire flight’s crew and passengers disembarked right away, and the aircraft was checked.
“A call about a bomb in the flight coming from Moscow to Delhi was received last night. The flight landed in Delhi at around 3.20 am. All passengers and crew members were deboarded. Flight is being checked and investigation is underway,” Delhi Police said, as quoted by ANI.
According to a senior police official quoted in the PTI story, the aircraft has been isolated and nothing has been found thus far.
After receiving intelligence from Lahore’s Air Traffic Control (ATC) about a potential bomb threat, which proved out to be unfounded, the Indian Air Force (IAF) was forced to scramble Su-30MKI fighter fighters to shadow an Iranian Mahan Air flight.
