The 6E 309 flight had already departed from Lucknow at that time and Delhi was alerted before it landed. The flight landed at 4pm and was taken to isolation bay. “The CISF was immediately alerted.” The aircraft was taken to an isolation bay and the security machinery was put into action. Passengers were asked to de-board and luggage was taken off. “The routine procedures were followed and all the passengers were subjected to thorough check. A team was looking into the call details. The passenger, identified as Raj Bajaj, came to airport after making the call and his number was also in the passenger list. “We matched the detail and detained Bajaj.

He denied involvement but he was handed over to police,” the source added. A bomb threat assessment team was formed and primary investigations declared the call ‘non-specific’, meaning the bomb threat was hoax. But till late night no case was registered as neither Gurgaon nor Delhi police received the complaint. The passengers were again subjected to full frisking, before the flight left for Hyderabad at 7pm. “The caller has been nabbed and handed over to the Bomb Threat Assessment Committee.
