Air India Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Ahmedabad After Bomb Note Found on Tissue
An Air India flight from Dammam, Saudi Arabia, to New Delhi made an emergency landing at Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport after a crew member found a tissue paper with the word "bomb" written on it in the aircraft lavatory. The flight, carrying 32 passengers, landed safely, and all passengers were evacuated without injury. Security agencies, including bomb disposal squads and sniffer dogs, conducted thorough inspections but found no explosives or suspicious items. Authorities have launched an investigation into the origin and motive of the note, treating it as a potential hoax threat.
