-
‘The message about a pipe bomb being placed in the Air India flight was proved to be fake in our investigation,’ says official.
A message claiming a bomb had been placed on Air India's flight from Delhi to Mumbai via Indore was posted on a social media platform which later turned out to be a hoax, police said on Wednesday (October 30, 2024).
The "threatening message" that a pipe bomb was placed in Air India's flight AI 636 was posted on an X social media account at 5.08 pm on Tuesday (October 29, 2024), an Aerodrome police station officer said quoting a complaint by a local official of the airline.
The flight, arriving from Delhi, had already left for Mumbai from Indore at 4.38 pm, he said.
"The message about a pipe bomb being placed in the Air India flight was proved to be fake in our investigation," Deputy Commissioner of Police Vinod Kumar Meena said.
