A labourer was arrested for allegedly making a hoax call about a bomb at Mangaluru International Airport on Thursday.
According to the police, Vasanth (33), a resident of Karkala taluk in Udupi district, had sent a text and called former airport director M R Vasudeva, and told him that a bomb was planted at the Mangaluru airport on Wednesday.
“After Vasudeva received the threat call, he informed airport director VV Rao. Rao immediately activated the bomb threat assessment committee of Mangaluru International airport and checked the entire airport but found nothing,” police said.
