A handwritten bomb threat note found inside the lavatory of an IndiGo flight bound for Ahmedabad triggered a security scare at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport, prompting an extensive security check, registration of an FIR and a police investigation. The threat was later confirmed to be a hoax after no explosive material was found on board.

Threat discovered before take-off

The incident occurred on Thursday evening on IndiGo flight 6E-6423, which was scheduled to depart for Ahmedabad at 8 p.m. According to police, the note reading "Don't go. Bomb Hai! Please" was discovered inside the aircraft's forward lavatory about 25 minutes before take-off.
