‘Bomb’ scribbled on a paper found in Jet Airways flight, leads to delay

A Mumbai-bound Jet Airways flight from Ahmedabad was delayed after a bomb scare turned out to be hoax.

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad -Mumbai flight carrying 125 passengers and six crew members was delayed after the cleaning staff on the aircraft found a paper with "bomb" written on it under a seat.

The aircraft was taken to an isolation bay and was checked by the police and bomb disposal squad.

"When the cleaning staffers were making the flight ready for the next trip, one of them found a chit beneath a passenger seat. The word 'bomb' was written on the chit. As passengers had already alighted, it was difficult for us to trace as to who left it. Hence, we have detained one passenger for questioning under whose seat the chit was found," said Assistant Commissioner of Police, 'G' division, J N Parmar.

Meanwhile, police have started questioning of the passenger, who has been detained.
