Pune: Youth booked for ‘bomb hoax’ at city airport

AN OFFENCE has been lodged against an youth for alleged bomb hoax at the Pune International Airport in Lohegaon. A first information report in this case was lodged at the Vimantal police station on Friday. Police said the accused, a 21-year-old from Kashmir currently residing at Bhugaon, had come to the airport to take a flight on Thursday night.

He was annoyed due to repeated checking of his luggage. He allegedly questioned the airline staffer at the spot why his bag was being checked again and again, and whether it carried a bomb.
