Bomb‑Threat Note Found on IndiGo Flight From Lucknow to Bengaluru

Authorities inspected the plane and opened an investigation into the note’s origin and credibility.

Overview

  • Cabin crew discovered a handwritten bomb‑threat note during final approach and alerted the pilot and airport authorities.
  • The aircraft landed safely and passengers were deplaned while airport security and a bomb squad carried out standard operating procedure searches.
  • Investigators say the note is currently suspected to be a hoax but a detailed probe is under way to determine who placed it and how credible it was.
  • Reports identify the flight variously as 6E231 and 6E321, a discrepancy that officials and outlets have not resolved in early coverage.
  • The incident follows similar bomb‑threat scares this year and highlights recurring challenges for aviation security teams that must balance rapid response with verifying hoax claims.
