A 42-year-old Air India passenger, Manoj Kumar, was arrested at Cochin International Airport on Sunday morning after making an alarming comment to a CISF officer during a security check. Kumar, who was scheduled to fly from Kochi to Mumbai, reportedly asked the officer, “Is there any bomb in my bag?” This statement led to immediate security concerns.
Airport authorities swiftly called in the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) to inspect Kumar’s luggage. After conducting thorough checks, the authorities found no explosives. Kumar was subsequently handed over to the local police for further investigation, while the Air India flight departed on schedule.
