RAIPUR, NOV 14 : A Kolkata-bound IndiGo flight with 187 passengers and six crew members onboard made an emergency landing at Raipur airport on Thursday morning following a bomb threat to the aircraft, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aircraft, which had taken off from Nagpur for Kolkata, was diverted after airport authorities received the threat, Raipur’s Senior Superintendent of Police Santosh Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plane landed at the airport in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur after 9 am and was immediately taken to the isolation bay for mandatory security checks, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aircraft was being thoroughly checked by the technical staff and bomb squad, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may be noted that last month at least 410 domestic and international flights operated by the Indian carriers have received hoax bomb threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the threats were issued through social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
