‘Bomb’ note in flight loo forces emergency landing at Maha 

Nagpur : A hand-written note with the words ‘Blast at 9am’ scribbled on a piece of toilet paper and stuck on the commode seat led to a bomb scare on an Indigo Airlines Jabalpur to Hyderabad flight, leading to an emergency landing at Nagpur airport Sunday. As the plane landed at 9.20am, the entire security mechanism swung into action only to find it was a hoax, reports Shishir Arya. Five people had used the toilet before the airhostess found the note. All are being questioned. 

The note was written with a gel pen, which was not found on any of those onboard, sources said. The Bomb Disposal and Detection Squad of Nagpur police did not find any explosive in the aircraft. The plane was stranded for nearly five hours, and finally took off again after 3pm. The aircraft had 69 passengers and four crew members, a source said.
