Bomb scare at Bengaluru Airport turns out to be a hoax: Report

Officials at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru had a major scare after crew members found a note in a flight’s lavatory that warned a bomb had been planted.

The plane, from a private carrier, took off from Jaipur and arrived in Bengaluru on Sunday night. A report on The Times of India said the note was written in Hindi with blue ink and read: “Don’t land. There is a bomb on this plane.”

The crew member who found the note, which was scribbled on a piece of torn tissue paper, alerted the flight’s captain immediately, who contacted Air Traffic Control (ATC).
