A Kerala native woman was arrested in Bengaluru after she allegedly created a false bomb scare inside Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport Friday, police said. Probe revealed that the woman allegedly did so as she missed her flight to Kolkata.
The accused has been identified as Manasi Satheebainu, 31, who hails from Kozhikode in Kerala, officers said. The police arrested her after Sandeep Singh, a CISF official posted on duty at the airport, filed a complaint with Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) police.
According to investigators, Singh was deployed at boarding gate no. 6 in the morning shift. Around 8.20 am, Manasi rushed to the gate and said she urgently needed to board an IndiGo flight that was scheduled to leave for Kolkata.
