Bomb scare delays Lucknow-Delhi IndiGo flight

An IndiGo flight carrying around 180 passengers from Lucknow to Delhi was grounded on Friday after a bomb threat was discovered written on a tissue paper inside one of the aircraft’s lavatories, triggering a comprehensive security response at the airport.

The flight, scheduled to depart from Lucknow at 10:45 a.m., was preparing for take-off when crew members were alerted to a possible security threat on board.

The aircraft was immediately halted at the apron and prevented from



departing as security agencies initiated standard emergency procedures.

The scare began after a tissue paper bearing the word “bomb” was found inside one of the aircraft’s toilets.

Following the discovery, airport security personnel and other agencies conducted an extensive inspection of the aircraft and its surroundings.

Authorities later determined that the threat was a hoax. No explosive device or suspicious material was found during the security sweep.
