Bomb threat to Star Airlines flight to Jamnagar a hoax: Police | Business News
The bomb threat received by Star Airlines for its flight from Bengaluru to Jamnagar on Saturday turned out to be a hoax, said officials.
No explosive material or devices were found on board the flight, confirmed police officials in Gujarat.
Jamnagar Superintendent of Police Premsukh Delu told The Indian Express, “Neither the airport nor the police received the bomb threat. It was received by the airline’s headquarters.”
“When the aircraft landed in Jamnagar, a thorough search was undertaken by the police and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS). No explosives were found on the flight. It departed safely. We have concluded the threat was a hoax,” said Delu.
Meanwhile, further investigation of the threat will not be carried out in Gujarat but by the police where the complaint is filed by Star Airlines, officials added.
