Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Oct 23: A bomb threat hoax targeting 10 flights, including one departing from Mangaluru, was reported on Monday.
The threat, which included an Indigo flight from Mangaluru to Mumbai, was issued via a message on the social media platform X, from an account allegedly belonging to one Chetan Singh.
Based on a complaint filed by Mangaluru airport authorities, a case has been registered at Bajpe police station.
The message specifically mentioned flight 6E-164, scheduled to depart from Mangaluru to Mumbai on Monday night, as a potential target. However, by the time the threat was posted, the flight had already landed in Mumbai, leading police to believe it was a false alarm. Bajpe police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
