Bengaluru: A hoax bomb threat delayed an IndiGo flight at Kempegowda International Airport on Sunday, August 7.

An anonymous note was found in the toilet of an Indigo flight carrying 175 passengers from Jaipur to Bengaluru.

The note read, “Land na karna, is flight mein bomb hai (Don’t land, this flight has a bomb).

However, the flight landed after the captain received clearance from  the security agencies.

The flight was checked after it was moved to a remote location and handwriting samples were collected by the CISF personnel.

Following this, two suspects were identified and further investigations are underway.
