A man from Karnataka was booked by Dabolim Airport police on Wednesday for uttering the words “Bomb hai” (there is a bomb) during a routine security check at the Dabolim airport.
K B Krishna Murthi (49) of Bettaiah in Tumkur-Karnataka was also barred from boarding the flight and an offence was registered against him under Section 505 IPC.
"The airport manager of an airlines stated that the incident had taken place on December 4, when the accused was about to board a flight scheduled to depart from Goa to Bengaluru and had approached a counter to check in his baggage.
“The flight staff while checking in his baggage asked him a normal SRA question "Sir, are you carrying power bank or lighter in your baggage" to which the accused person replied to the check-in staff, “Bomb Hai”.”
“The passenger was informed not to use the word and again when asked by the check-in staff, the passenger continued to reply, “Bomb Hai”. The airlines staff then prevented the accused passenger from boarding the flight,” said the source.
ASI Santosh Gaonkar of Dabolim airport police is presently investigating the case under the supervision of PI Amarnath Passi and the guidance of Mormugao DySP Salim Shaikh.
