Another bomb scare: AI express from Dubai to Jaipur receives hoax threat

NEW DELHI: An

Air India Express

flight IX-196 flying from

Dubai

to Jaipur, with 189 passengers onboard, received a

bomb threat

via email in the wee hours of Saturday. However, the authorities have confirmed that nothing suspicious was found after the plane landed at the

Jaipur International airport

.
‘After a thorough check by the

security forces

, nothing suspicious was found’, Jaipur Airport Police SHO Sandeep Basera said news agency ANI.

This comes after a Vistara‘s Delhi-London flight of Oct 18 was diverted to Frankfurt late on Friday night due to a similar hoax call.
