IndiGo Flight Lands in Lucknow After Bomb Threat
An IndiGo plane flying from Delhi to Bagdogra had to land quickly in Lucknow because someone found a note saying there was a bomb.
Everyone on the plane got off safely, and the plane was checked by security.
They didn't find any bomb, so the plane continued its trip to Bagdogra.
The note was a fake threat.
IndiGo flight 6E-6650 from Delhi to Bagdogra made an emergency landing in Lucknow due to a bomb threat.
A handwritten note claiming 'Bomb on the plane' was found in the aircraft's rear lavatory.
All 222 passengers, 8 infants, 2 pilots, and 5 crew members were evacuated safely.
Extensive security checks were conducted, and no suspicious item was found.
The threat was declared a hoax, and the flight resumed its journey to Bagdogra.
