Mangaluru: A bomb scare at Mangalore International Airport spread like wild fire in the late evening on Tuesday. A suspicious object was found on a Dubai bound passenger’s check-in luggage when it was scanned. He was traveling to Dubai by IndiGo Airline from Mangalore.

IndiGo Airlines security screener staff at MIA suspected a passenger carrying alleged cellphone bomb and informed the Airport security officer and the hell broke loose. After checking the object in the luggage by security officials it was found to be Power bank with plastic cover and clay-like object.

The suspicious object did not turn out to be an explosive. However, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) chief Rajesh Kumar Chandra has directed the airline to file an FIR against the passenger so that the substance could be probed to find out what it really is and why it was being attempted to be taken inside the plane.
