Kolkata Airport Experiences Two Bomb Scares in Two Days, No Threat Found
Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport faced two bomb scares within 24 hours. On Saturday, a message reading "Bomb inside aircraft" was found written on a lavatory mirror of a Phuket-Kolkata flight, prompting evacuation and a thorough search by CISF, bomb squad, and police, which found no suspicious items. The previous day, a handwritten bomb threat note was discovered in a women's washroom near a boarding gate. Authorities are investigating and reviewing CCTV footage and passenger lists to identify the source, while enhancing security measures.
