A 24-year-old trainee ticketing agent of British Airways was arrested by the Delhi Police for allegedly making a hoax bomb call to the SpiceJet call centre when its Pune-bound flight was about to depart from the capital Thursday.
Police said a few minutes before a Delhi-Pune SpiceJet flight was about to depart from IGI Airport around 9.30 pm, information was received at the airline’s call centre regarding a bomb in the flight. The CISF control room was informed and the aircraft was parked at an isolation bay. After the luggage of passengers was checked by CISF, no suspicious item was found. Thereafter, the airline lodged a complaint with the IGI Airport police station and a case was lodged.
