Security panic erupted Wednesday morning, November 11, at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata after a hijack threat was discovered aboard a Mumbai-bound Air India flight, according to NDTV.
Sources said a message threatening to hijack the plane was found written on a washroom mirror while the aircraft was preparing for takeoff. The pilot immediately alerted Air Traffic Control (ATC), prompting authorities to move the jet to an isolated security bay.
Personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and airport security officials launched a comprehensive sweep of the aircraft for any suspicious objects or explosives. Police and intelligence agencies have also begun reviewing terminal and onboard closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage to identify whoever wrote the message.
