Bomb threat written with lipstick forces IndiGo plane from Dibrugarh to Kolkata to make emergency landing

An IndiGo flight traveling from Dibrugarh in Assam to Kolkata was forced to make an emergency landing after a bomb threat was discovered. The alarming message, reportedly written in lipstick, was found on a seat during the flight, prompting immediate action from the crew. The aircraft, carrying passengers and crew members, made a safe return to Dibrugarh Airport, where security personnel conducted thorough checks. Authorities were alerted to ensure the safety of all on board. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding aviation security in India, particularly in the context of recent global threats and the need for stringent measures to ensure passenger safety. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is likely to investigate the matter further, focusing on the security protocols in place and how such messages can be prevented in the future.
