“Terrorists On Board Threat” ; Delhi-Goa Flight Made A Priority Landing!!!

Fright broke out onboard a Delhi-Goa flight when a passenger got up from his seat and yelled that there were terrorists on board the plane. The man, who is a resident of Delhi’s Jamia Nagar, also proclaimed to be from the Special Cell, Delhi Police’s anti-terror unit.

The man was confined soon as the flight made a priority landing at Goa airport on Thursday. Senior police officers said the man was diagnosed to be mentally ill and sent to the hospital for treatment. The incident took place at 3.15 pm on Air India flight AI-883. According to the officers of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which secures the airports, when the flight was about to land in Goa airport, the man got up and shouted: “There are terrorists in this flight”.

When other passengers panicked, the flight crew tried to interfere. When they asked the man to sit down calmly, he told them he was from the Special Cell of Delhi Police. An official aware of the incident said the man did not turn violent on the plane and was calmed down by the crew. The matter was reported to the chief pilot, who cautioned Goa Air Traffic Control (ATC) and requested priority landing, mentioning an emergency. The flight was given a priority landing slot by the ATC, which informed the Airport Operation Control Centre (AOCC) that in turn alerted the CISF and Goa police.

“Soon, as the flight landed safely at Goa airport, the CISF commandos booked the man at the aero-bridge itself. He was accompanied to the Dabolim police station by the CISF staff and the members of Air India’s security staff,” said a senior CISF officer, who did not wish to be named. Pankaj Kumar Singh, superintendent of police, (south Goa), said the man did not seem to be mentally fit.

“He was traveling alone. When we tried to question him on his act, he did not seem to be fine. We got him medically examined and he was sent to the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB) in Bambolim, Goa on the doctor’s advice. No case has been registered against him so far,” Singh said.
